Photo contest

The Peace Corps recently had a photo contest with submissions from volunteers, in categories ranging from humor to ¨my site is better than your site¨. These are some of my favorites. Not much right now in the way of news.... went to a small town´s Feria this weekend, got to see a cockfight. It´s actually pretty exciting, though the way they barb the roosters´ ankles to make them fight is cruel, and the fights usually continue until one is dead.

Still no news on the tree nursery project. We´re waiting to hear anything from the Costa Rican agency evaluating the proposal (they should have contacted us a LONG time ago) and now trying to plan ahead, assuming we will be getting somewhere before April. If not we will have to consider starting next year, which would suck.
