No wordy post today-- just some pictures that have been hanging out in our archives for a while waiting to be published. Enjoy!

| This is the view from the back seat of a poda-poda, a stripped-down vehicle (nearly always 2WD) that shuttles 20-30 people and several thousand pounds of goods around the country on roads that most Americans wouldn't consider to be roads at all. Random fact: we get less car-sick in podas than we do in 4WD vehicles. These guys have to move so slowly it's tough to get nauseous. If you're in a Jeep, however, you do a whole lot of bouncing around. |

| A sunset captured at our house. When the seasons are changing (rainy to dry in October/November and dry to rainy in May/June), we get some lovely colors. |
 |
| Our neighbor, Momito, popo-ing Shrek. This is how women tie their babies to be carried on their backs. Kids practice with dolls, stuffed animals, statues...basically anything somewhat baby-shaped. Our favorite was a statue of Mary that a 3-year-old neighbor popo-ed for several days. |
 |
| No dump truck? No problem! Just grab some buckets or rice bags and about 200 extra hands and you can move a pile of sand in no time flat. |
 |
| This is what happens when you walk around our town with a camera out. These kids were just standing by their respective houses waving at us until they saw we were taking pictures. |
 |
| Same kids, this time giving us a bad-ass pose |
 |
| December through February, mornings can get "cold" (think 73-78 degrees F) We bought the girls next door some winter hats so they could get through their morning chores without their ears freezing off! |
