La Mesa, Colombia

Hello All,
We have finally arrived in La Mesa. We´ve been here about 2 weeks. La Mesa is a nice little town. THe houses are very nice on the insides because Colombian women place a lot of pride in having clean houses. Yes, we also have running water and electricity. However, the water is not treated and quite cold.
Yesterday Steph and I made peanut butter. I bought peanuts and blended them up with a bit of salt. It tastes very natural. I´m surprised by the things I miss. Peanut butter, pizza, a familiar kitchen, warm showers and a soft pillow. I also, of course, miss people and speaking above a second grade level.
I´ve been enjoying the church and school, even though we don´t really have jobs yet. The school year is ending now for a few weeks, but we´ve been keeping busy sociolizing with people. In this open culture, 1 social event often runs into all day. Also, with the absence of Thanksgiving, the Christmas season is arriving earlier than ever! Sometime I´ll get pictures on my blog. There are a few on facebook you can check out.
