God's Child

I have wanted to continue with going green in Guatemala…..Things that we used to just pitch in the trash we treasure now. Just this morning we went to McDonalds for breakfast, coffee and internet. When we finished our meal we saved our plastic fork and knife and also we saved our coffee cups and brought it all to our home for later use. And we have already used most of it. When we take off our shirts we give them the good old smell test and usually we say sure we can get another days wear. Without washer or dryer things are different but not so bad as long as we do not sit too close to others. We went shopping for a coffee pot and bought a plastic percolator and I was so excited that I would have coffee when I wanted it, but it has to be taken back to store because it got so hot that it started melting the bottom. We went to the Mercado to shop for fruits and vegetables and that was fun but a lot of work getting things back to the house via bus and then walking up the steep hills. I was pooped out when we got home.
