Fun Run for therapy patients

We joined in ASELSI's Fun Run for their therapy patients.  It was a way to raise money for the program, as well as have a special activity that their patients were able to participate in.  The normal parades in town are too long for handicapped kids and adults to be a part of, so this special "parade" was a blessing for them and for all of us.

Here we are in front of Chichi's
famous arch.

Walking through the streets of Chichi.

Walk and bike ride

Two or three mornings a week, Elena and I (Heather) take our dog, Dorado, for a walk in the neighborhood, and Veronica rides her bike.  It is good exercise!

Dry versus wet

We have two seasons here: dry and rainy.  On the drive to our land in Chulumal II, there is a stretch of road that is brown during dry season when the plants are covered in dust, and green in rainy season when the plants can actually be seen.

Much appreciated maid

Micaela has been working for us since the day we arrived in Guatemala four years ago.  She comes to our house six days a week, two half-days to clean and do laundry, and the other four days just to wash dishes.  She is a mother of five, and a grandmother of four, and her husband is the head maintenance man at ASELSI.  I appreciate Micaela's faithfulness to us!

Thank you, Micaela!
