Hard to schedule.
February 25th, 2008
I have found it hard to get into a consistent daily rhythm down here. Things take so much longer to get done. Going to the grocery store can be an all morning event and doing laundry takes 2 days from start to finish. When you have friends over, it isn’t for a few hours it is for most of the day. Every where you go, you wait. It is just the South American way. It lends itself to a slow calm pace to life, but it can be frustrating when you just want to get things done and nothing happens fast. Such is life. I am enjoying it before we jump back into the rat race.

You are closer to that scale which shows just how much of a sacrifice it is for the very poor to send their children who are desperately needed for the work of their little hands to school.

Yes I do! I also understand why pioneer families had so many kids, to keep the farm going. They style of living here was discribed to me as “pioneer” living. It is a very hard life. The women here, easily look 15-20 years older than their age.
