A quick breakfast and onto the vans with Clara heading to Panamaquim and the School. The views as we drove through the mountians were just amazing.

what a great account
Nancy, you write so well and capture each day. I can feel the road and picture the views as you travel through each day. The photos are terrific.

What a 'never forget' two week experience for your niece. Bety must have touched many people during her short life. So very sad. I thought the memorial was planned for the 16th? I can only imagine your digs in Xela. A photo or two would be great. Clean room, fresh towels and soap on returning after the day's work. Wow, that's deluxe. Jackie starts his stem cell collection in earnest on the 23rd of Feb. We are preparing, trying to think ahead to what will be needed when he's 'out of sorts'. But life goes on with the normal every day stuff too ... at least for the next while. It's cold here now but we've had some milder days. No heavy snowfalls lately. Please say hi to the gang from us. And thanks for this blog. Stay safe and healthy. Joni
