Mom loves the people of El Salvador

 And they love her!


visiting the women's co-op where they make and sell indigo textiles, natural soap and recycled paper


hiking to Prudi's coffee finca

Prudi shows mom the home he build by hand...
He is so proud and we are so very impressed

hiking around sunset is beautiful here in Norte Morazan
Beach day with the family!!!






Hanging with the band
christmas lunch at the Lenca was a meat lovers paradise
this child is about to pass out from all the food,
but he won't stop til the plate is clean


time for games to work off that monster lunch


wreath toss

three legged kick

this game... 

find the baby jesus and win a point
another crowd favorite,
how many kisses in the jar

baking carrot cake from scratch
pay no attention to the box below

La Posada
The children of the community dress up as the nativity scene,
carry candles
and go house to house asking for lodging (in song)
At each house, the resident responds by refusing lodging (also in song), until the weary travelers reach the designated site for the party (in this case the school), where Mary and Joseph are finally recognized and allowed to enter.


After dinner family portrait 

With my two moms!
How lucky can a girl get? :)
