Rainey Ratchford

We arrived! We were met at the airport by Margarita, then took a bus to Puebla.

Our ride included a snack and a movie. Who knew Nicholas Cage was fluent in Spanish ;-) ?

Pedro met us at the bus station, and we went home to enjoy dinner with our family. Turkey prepared with adobo (for the meat-eaters, not me), corn tortillas, rice, and the most delicious potatoes I´ve had.

We went to the school in the evening for some special seminars for Health Week. We saw the kindergarten center which is for students ages 2 to 6. Some of the students were waiting for their parents to finish at the seminar.

I understood some of the lecture on addiction, and the visual outline helped. I met Lourdes, who coordinates the English programs at D`Amicis school, and she and I discussed the international struggle of all high school students with Beowulf and Shakespeare.


These photos of our home show my bedroom and the courtyard view from my room. The large black barrel on the roof of the other building is a rain barrel. Most homes have two reservoirs (one a rain barrel, the other a cistern under the house) to collect water for washing and showers and such.
