And now that my computer is once again connecting properly to the internet, I will be catching up on all the wonderful things that have been happening in the village since we began having computer problems. And to start ...

A Medical, Educational and Construction Journey

Our last few days have been very busy. On February 4th, a group of (mostly) Calgarians arrived on a Medical, Educational and Construction Journey. They have been accomplishing a lot of things that I am now going to be able to blog about, thanks to the hard work of Tomas Limon (bottom row left), a computer technician who has, in the one short week that he was able to be with us, performed miracles with my computer, which is once again able to enter the internet, and repairing/rebuilding the ones in the computer center so that they, too, are functioning optimally. We have even been able to offer computer classes again this week! Posted by Picasa

Bryan Visits for New Years

Bryan and I had a great visit together over the New Year's vacation. He was able to come home to the jungles for the first time in 4 years. One of the highlites of our time together was a beautiful sunny afternoon that we spent in Tikal, walking, talking, hiking and climbing. Here he is on top of the main Mundo Perdido temple, looking out towards Temple IV, the largest temple in the Mayan world, in the far distance, from where we had just come. Posted by Picasa
