Goodbye Merideth

Last night our dear friend and co-worker Merideth left Olinalá to embark on her next adventure.
We will miss you greatly Mer. Millions of thanks for everything you have shared with us. We are grateful that our paths crossed and look forward to the next time we can be together.
God's blessings to you.

One Sunday

As I´ve mentioned before, our friends Chuchi and Malena have a shoe shop. Every Saturday afternoon they set up their stand in the town square (along with lots of other merchants) for Sunday´s market. They spend all day Sunday in the zocalo. Isaiah has helped them in the past. The other day he decided he wanted to ¨work¨for them. He told me this on Saturday night before he went to bed. Sunday morning he got up at 7am all by himself. Got dressed, made breakfast, and rode his bike to their shoe stand. He worked well into the afternoon. He helped set up, ran errands and according to them was helpful. He came home proud as a peacock with $25 pesos in his pocket.
