We decided to add a few pictures of daily life in Xela. The first is a view down our street as we walked home from school today. It has yet to rain but as you can see, the clouds look menacing. On the right hand side is an example of what the indigenous women dress like here. Unlike most, she is not carrying a large parcel on her head. The next two pictures show how dirty our floors still are even after being cleaned. Every night we sit on Hannah's bed and do homework, most of the time in socks. Socks are our new best friend. Not only do they keep our feet warm on the frigid tile, they also keep them relatively clean. Hannah has been sporting Popsi's U of U socks every night. The next two pictures were taken at school. It is very sunny and beautiful every morning. The first is a shot of Edy, the younger brother of Hannah's current teacher, and his student in the courtyard. We sit at those cute little tables and talk for 5 hours every day. The next is a picture of Sergio and Hannah's teacher, Karen. They really wanted someone to take a picture of them together. The last photo is a view from our school. We walk down the hill, past the bridge, and down another street every day to get home. It is about a 7 minute walk. We love it. We are finally getting the hang of everything around here: where the good bakeries are, how to get to the cute cafes, etc. We have a home away from home!

That bridge doesn't look especially useful.
