Walk to school


Here are some pictures of our neighborhood and our walk to school. The walls, gates and bars on the windows are already familiar to us after living in Malawi. And just like Malawi--the tropical trees and plants are beautiful! Here in San José, we have the added beauty of the mountains surrounding the city.


As I mentioned in the last blog--we have to be on the watch for "gringo-catchers". For some reason the tops to manholes and the grates on storm drains are hot-commodities and if you are not careful when you are walking, you could disappear down one of the holes. This is no laughing matter as a previous student apparently fell in one and broke both his legs.
