Meet the Brownios

Finally! Here are some pictures from the village I've been working at. There is such a contrast between the beautiful landscape and the ugliness of the poverty these people live in.

Most of the houses are made of either corn husks or cement blocks. As you can see in this picture there are animals EVERYWHERE! and going hand in hand with that, there is POOP everywhere. Usually its not a problem but when it rains, the road is like an ice-skating rink. And trust me, slipping around in the mud/poop in sandals is not fun! :)
There are anywhere from 6-10, possibly more, people living in each house. Almost every household has a little garden somewhere close by. They grow their own corn for tortillas and sometimes tomatoes or chilies. Such is life in the pueblos!
