Keeping house

This is the grubby but endearing town of Campo Verde, about a hour walk from our house in the jungle. This road was just paved in the past few months-the potholes used to be so big I could crawl in and hide. Several locals have told me that the current mayor paid for the road because elections are coming up next month, and he wants to be reelected.

This is my room out at the land, and the new bed John and I built last week. It doesn't look fancy, but after three months of sleeping on the cement, I'm glad to have gained some elevation.

I'm sweeping off our big table top in the main room of our house. That's my room behind me on the right, and the kitchen on the left.
