To Saujil and the classroom

The road to Saujil was long and dry.













Arriving in Saujil we found no accomadation so in an attempt to find somwhere to camp we asked advice at this teacher training college.

The moment we arrived we were enthusiastically ushered into a classroom to be used as live 'native english speakers' for the class. We had a great time swapping stories of our different cutures and countries.







Marie del Carmen Diaz from the school kindly offered to take us in for the night. We had a lovely evening cooking, feeding her animals and conversing in Spanglish.

Her garden was amazing, the following were growing just outside her back door: Sugar cane, Plums, Mandarin, Peaches, Lemon Grass, Avacado, Lemons, Limes, Oranges, Walnuts, Olives, Prickly Pear and Grapes.

Amazing and delicious.

Gracias Marie
