My friend Sandra working on Christmas cards. She and Lenia have a small business making greeting cards. The cards are beautiful. I plan on posting some scanned cards if anyone's interested in buying them. I spent some time in December making cards with them and helping with sales.
Lenia doing some card packaging.
Andres and his tocayo, our neighbor Andres. He likes to know what we're up to at all times.

The beach! We took a one week vacation with friends and spent part of it at the beach near La Ceiba and part of it along a river up in the mountains nearby. A great idea.
The friends! Peter Sprunger, Anna Groff, Brian Miller, and Andrea Voth. We went snorkeling. We're already pretty tired at this point.
Andrew with friends waiting for fried fish after snorkeling. It was tasty.
Boats docked at Cayos Cochinos, close to where we went snorkeling.
Marcia, one of my English students, invited us over for a cooking lesson. Here she is making the best sopa de mariscos (seafood soup) I've ever had.
Stage 2 of soup. SO GOOD.
I spent 4 weeks teaching a math class to a group of kids from the local public schools during their winter break. The public schools only had 70 days of class last year due to all the teacher strikes and the coup - this class was an attempt by ASJ to get some kids caught up.
Math class.
Tasara Redekopp came to visit! Unfortunately we didn't have time to go off gallavanting with her, so here she is visiting my math class on our last day.
My favorite student, Axel, multiplying with beans. He was pretty serious about multiplication.
