no more tortillas please!

here i am in mexico…things are going great!  there have been some challenges but then there have been even more exciting happenings, encouraging moments, and crazy stories!  i have put all my photos up on facebook (easier that than this), so for auntie sandra you are either going to have to get facebook or make sheena show you, haha!

i miss my family.

i miss my friends.

but i am slowly getting a pretty sweet farmer’s tan to show off when i return!

mark and i will be working with the clinic and we are so excited!  we worked a bit with doctor griz today and made a sign for the wednesday afternoon nutritional awareness events.  i am excited to take this approach in my relationship with santa lucia because not only will i be able to work with the clinic, but alos the school, and the moms, and in an area i love!

so far i have been the first to puke, the first to bleed, and the first to drink to much tequila…it’s been fun!  the heat is crazy, especially coming from the yukon, but i love it.yesterday i was able to help a farmer out in his cilantro/bean field weeding.  it’s very educative learning the farmer techniques here, and sure has allowed me to think in a different way about food and where it comes from and how we get it.

i must run, we are going to hit the market before our last bus back to santa lucia.

adios amigos!
