We know it has been a LONG while since we have posted a blog, but it has been an amazing two weeks. Two weeks ago we took a week long trip to Xela (Quetzaltenago) and went on a whirlwind tour of six coffee fincas (farms). It was a very eye opening experience for us, and we could write a book about our experiences. We did learn a lot about how coffee goes from the farms to us and we will now appreciate our delicious cup even more. We will of course tell you much much more in person. 
This past week we have been moving very fast on the hospital in Uspantan. Don Amato built us an amazing structure to put the two tanks on at the hospital. Only one problem that is was two big to fit in the first truck they got, and the second truck just barely made it thru the streets (we only hit one truck and one man). The install at the hospital has gone well and will be done just in time.

This is a picture of riding in the back of a pick-up truck on our way back to Uspantan.
We have a pretty busy last couple of weeks planned, so this may or may not be the last blog. On Thursday we plan to leave Uspantan (we are very sad to leave) and go back to Xela for the weekend. We will follow up with a few contacts from the farms and get ready because we are enrolled in the Escula de La Montana. A spanish language school located on a coffee finca about an hour outside of Xela. This will definatly put us pretty far away from any computer for the week. For the last 3 days of the trip we are going to venture down to the coast to see the volcanic beaches on pacific coast. So if this is the last time we post a blog its not because we don´t want to, but we can´t.
Miss you all and we will be home in just three weeks
