Status update (with chickens)

As happens every day during the rainly season the day started very nice and then it poured at 2PM.The rain stopped after one hour and it was very nice again.

This was the second day for team one to build stoves and a lot of progress was made. The team consisting of Carol Corbridge, Charlotte Corbridge, Steve Hultgren and Kate Arney Cimino are clearly the stove building primo team and finished their first stove and almost finished stove two.

John and Mary Humke are the only two person team and are close to completing their first stove. Tina Heilman, Doug Pederson, Barbara Hanst and Tom Cimino completed stove one are are at level three (you will understand this when you get here) on stove two.

Keith Siggins, Caitlin Barritt, Lisa Shearer Cooper and Abigal Sperry finished stove one and started numero dos. They also had to chase chickens out of their work area.

Jan Arney, Pat Wright, Charlotte Stewart and Mary Greenwald finished their first stove, moved to a new house and got to level two on their second stove.

Before dinner we had a wonderful presentation from a local Mayan guy who works for International Mesoamerica Permaculture, an origanization working to diversity food production. Speaking of food, it is really great down here!
