Hi Tim Here

We were just reflecting this morning on how the bird sounds outside seem normal now. If you go back to one of our early entries I go into the sounds we were hearing the first morning we woke up in Guatemala. Now the sounds have come to be normal.

While walking and listening to a tape learning Spanish I happened upon a culebra (snake). I stopped and waited till it left the path. I helped it on its way with a rock and then carried on. Most field workers walk around here with a large machete for work and defense. I could have used one at that time.

Here is a sweet picture of Blanca Asucena and Lilian Beronica who are the youngest members of the family we provide food for once a month. Below them are bean plants drying before being cleaned and placed in a pan. The second picture is a final product.
