This is where I am staying, it is known as "la casa de dos pisos." (the house of two floors) because it is the only house in the village that has 2 floors. There are murals on the walls from a couple of years back, but one of our goals is to freshen them up. These that you see are all nicknames of people who live in El Polvo.
Here is a close up of the murals! All the nicknames have good stories!
We made Compost! Another one of our goals is to plant a garden. One of the women from the village has told us she will help (and she has an awesome garden!). The compost was a group effort. We are hoping it works out well!!
Did you wonder what bird was on Cion's head? It is Pipi. He is a baby... how adorable. The only bad thing is he has the habbit of pooping on people.. not so adorable. Cion is brave!
I really like this picture. It is also on the ride from San Salvador to El Polvo.
Two nights ago we went to a service for one of the town residents who died. What do you call it, a wake? After the funeral. This picture Sandra took of me.. and I liked it. The church music is pretty funny here, it is all on cheesy keyboard and really up beat but with all the singers extremely off key! DEAR TOOLES: you are needed urgently down here to teach the keyboards and teach singing lessons! thanks!
We have a lot of people (especially kids) come around to chill! it is so awesome!
