New interns and A final trip to San Juan Bautista...

I cannot believe our construction journey in San Juan has come to a close. The people of San Juan are very loving and I always look forward to a visit there. I was able to get pictures of 4 of the 5 families there in front of their home.



Our 4 fall interns have arrived. Minye, a Korean woman who just received her masters in structural engineering from NYU stayed with us for the first week. Jonathan, Josh (Peppers), and Matt are the other three interns. The interns needed a cultural experience living with a typical impoverished Guatemalan family for a weekend to understand the culture a bit more and I still needed to make one more trip to San Juan Bautista to deliver the final stove. We have constructed 5 homes there. Killing two birds with one stone, the interns stayed in San Juan.

Back to work

Things are going back to a normal pace for me at work. I am moving back into other projects other than Tabacal and the Stan homes. I finished off the airstrip and soon hope to return to Barrillas to place construction stakes as well as survey two more airstrips. I have been able to help with a couple miscellanious projects and get myself oriented once again. I will be travelling to Mexico in September and Beruit in February on different design trips. I will continue posting on a more regular basis so you don't have to keep waiting for my busy schedule like you did during July!
