Char and I upon arrival to Mariscal Sucre Airport

Casa Victoria from the front entrance

This is Char doing what he does best...eat dessert

Dinner with Eshes, Char, and the Landreths

Me...thousands of feet above the world and inches from death

Char's head stitches were the focus of much attention...and laughter



But he still takes his photography this seriously


Of course the bowling had to be documented


Anna's birthday dinner...this chocolate dessert put the Eshes down for the count

Reality Check

Yesterday was an unusual day for us here at Casa Victoria. We were in the midst of our normal schedule of morning tasks when we were shocked by the sound of gunshots just outside of the house. Esteban got to the balcony first to find a man laying the street motionless. The man had been gunned down in broad daylight by another man to whom he was in debt. The scene was utterly surreal as almost fifty people stood around the man as he died. Children were among the first reactors the incident and there was no censorship at all. This man's death was a stark reminder or how vastly different this part of the world is to the one that we know at home. Below are a few photos of the shocking scene.
