progress; puppies

kids are going to school in montellano (larger town where our project is located -- the more or less middle class villa built around the now defunct sugarcane plant in the middle of a trillion square kilometers of sugarcane fields, with a charming and perplexing sense of community built around civic duty and dominoes), and it's cute.

kids will soon be going to our school in tamarindo (smaller neighborhood where we build -- the poorer part on the unpaved road with the radioactive blue sludge creeping through town, just down a steep embankment and across the river from the hatian batey called pancho mateo, with a charming and beautiful sense of community built around kids with shovels and stickball), and it's slow and sometimes frustrating but just about ready for class.

here's progress in pictures:
