Pictures from Zapata



These are our friends Manuel and Manuela.








This was our bathroom and shower combination. One thing I can't figure out is why there is rarely a seat on the toilet???







This is Naya and Zuri, they are Manuel and Manuela's granddaughters. They are taking a bath in the backyard and having lots of fun!








These are our friend Maria del Rosario, Hugo and Sandra. They live across the street from where we stayed and were good friends.







This is the stove we cooked on...it gives new meaning to "keeping the homefires burning", doesn't it??







This is the kitchen, with the stove in the corner.









This man carried these heavy containers...all full...by the strap around his head. I bet he has strong neck muscles!







This is the lane going down to the river where the big tree was.










This is the area where the women would gather to do their laundry. You can see one woman washing her clothes on the log.








This is a group of kids who liked to follow us around a lot. We're in the backyard of Manuel's house. The tall girl didn't talk much...she just giggled all the time.








These are the girls I'd love to bring home with me...Maria del Rosario, Deysey and Magaly. They are really great kids.







It amazed me how everyone carried heavy loads on their heads. I tried, but couldn't keep it balanced.









As we were leaving we wanted pictures with our friends.










This is the tree the kids played on in the river...it was a great playground!









As we were leaving, Alex helped us carry our backpacks down
to the lancha.
