dispensas 010 I thought some of you might find it interesting to watch while we organize and get the dispensas that you have been so generous in providing. I’ll update throughout the day with pictures. First, we transfer money into the ATM account so we can purchase said goods. And sorry, but no picture of that. :)

Next we move the 100 5litro bottles of water and 106 kilos of Maseca we purchased last night from the car to the palapa. We’ll leave the milk in the car. Now we’re off to Soriana to spend our 3878 points (we’ll get at least 39 dozen eggs with those alone; 38 dozen free eggs) and buy veggies. Well, I decided to do a slideshow on Picasa; it is so much easier than uploading everything to Flickr. Here is the link to the slideshow.

    it’s not that I don’t find it interesting, I just find it annoying that you’re in Akumal and I’m in Wisconsin.

    That was a great way to put a slide show together for us, thankyou. I wish we could get good looking vegetables, that taste great at the store like you picked out.

    Until I viewed these photos I really had not realized the enormous amount of effort and energy required of your family to do this task. Now when I think of you I will pray for strength to continue this mission. I hope in some way this will develope into a greater avenue to continue helping these sweet Mayan people. How and what I do not know, but it is on a road to success because of your efforts. I too, only wish to be there to help.

    Hey Kit - When I click on the slideshow, I get an error message “400 BAD_REQUEST
    Unable to process request.” Hope all is well with you. Did you get the Happy Bday photo the girls & I sent via email? Love, C

    Wow! This is the first time I’ve looked at your Blog (I wandered here in an attempt to find out who made the totally awesome comment on my Blog this morning - You made my day, by the way!!) Your Blog is beautiful and so interesting. I’m really enjoying it. :-)

    I really hate to complain, seeing you all are doing so much work, BUT we need a line or two on your blog (pictures are appreciated) to know you all haven’t collapsed from too much work.
    love,
    mom
