What do you eat, and how do you get your food? Part 1


M stared at the pile of trash incredulously when I said I was going to buy some of this stuff. The bag full of "trash" is actually examples of what I can order from Al Haji, a man who travels by motorcycle to the country immediately south (and only a few miles away but with more products available). From him, we can order in bulk any of the products whose old wrappers are pictured here. So far, he has supplied us with oatmeal, brown sugar, soda, toilet paper, and bleach. Since he cannot read, he takes the wrappers we select and brings them with him when he goes shopping.

I love reading posts like this about your life there. It's so hard to imagine what it must be like. We've not been having tremendous luck with our garden yet, either, so it's not limited to non-NA gardeners.

 We had a lot of fun introducing the kids to 2 day old baby J today.  A keeps saying 'Sooo cute.'

Our House Part 2

And here is more of a straight-on view. The porch is screened in and potentially very useful, though we often prefer the front door. Our vegetable garden is behind the house, but you can see even the front has plenty of trees and vegetation... thanks to our gardener's daily watering from well water. We are thankful to be safely back here after a very nice vacation with family in August.
