Great Report
Hi Jake, Thanks for keeping us up to date. Sounds like you are making real progress. Keep up the good work-it is a valuable experience. Would love to visit you but are trips to Mexico are finished except I would love to make one more trip to our microcredit project in Navajo. You can look at our web site at Grameendelafrontera.org. It is doing extremely well. Are there any microcredit projects in Puebla? If so would you find out who is operating them. Also thanks for the photos. they really help understanding the culture. Much love, Ed

new haircut
Hi Jake, It's good to hear you had the courage to cut your hair. You usually have to be "mainstream" to get the best jobs and I want you to have the money to buy a motorbike so when I visit we can cruise around. Your room looks very nice, but yes, you do need a few posters for the walls. I will send you a few bucks and your contact lenses.

Hi Jake Thanks for the blog and email. I am so glad you are doing well. You could cut your hair if ya need to for a job. Just save the hair and we can get it to locks for love somehow. I think it needs to go into a plastic baggie. I have been working tons of days still out in the western suburbs, 3rd or 4th ring, the places that used to be small farming communities. Steve and I went to Inga Peterson's grad party yesterday.. We talked about you , were your ears burning? I love you. Mom

Hi
Hi Jacob, I saw your blog and was very interested in finding more about Chile. I'm Bulgarian but I really love Spain and all the Latin-American countries since I've been studying Spanish for 5 years now. I would really want to visit Chile and Mexico and Peru,as well. I've already been in Spain and I loved it there. Hope to get a chance to go to Latin America :) Great pictures as well!

Obama
It was mostly a comedy at the end. Sarah Palin was mocked by every comedian and one looked just like her. He won easily, but I can't say I felt the enthusiam from my bus riders. We need money in our pockets and good jobs, and those don't take place overnight. Still....we are on the right track, but I need to get on the right track. I will be working ten hours on thanksgiving! Yuck...probably an empty bus too. Diane and Joe are taking me out to breakfast though...I think Tyler has a Phd and is teaching philosohy at Berkley. I am strong as an Ox...my Anytime fitness membership requires me to go 12 times a month or forfiet $20... God bless Jake, be safe...love you more than you know. Dad.

Wow! I so admire and love Pablo Neruda's writings - have read many of his. They are some of the most wonderful I have read, especially his poetry. Did you know he took his name from a famous Czech poet named Neruda? I was on a very main historic street named Nerudarova, in Prague in June during my trip with the community band. Pablo's Memoirs is a wonderful book about his fascinating life. This reminds me that I'd like to read the Czech Neruda, too. What an interesting experience you are having, Jake. Love, Aunt Carol

Sounds like fun!
Hi Jake, Sounds like fun and an exhausting trip. We appreciate your blog and encourage you to keep it up. Tell us a little bit about your school and how it compares with St John's. We are both well. will go to Church today and pick up TG at the airport after church. He will be here tonight. Yesterday we went to a political rally and heard Al Gore. He is very impressive and he sure would have made a good President. Much love, Ed

Classes
HI jake, Great to hear form you! Keep it up. It makes us want to be young again. I am wondering if you have any classes and how are they going. Is it tough to handle in Spanish and how are you doing with the language. We are well and love to enjoy the sights of the country with you>I have been following it on the map. Much love, Ed
