Tech Week!

We spent Tech Week in the Comarca Ngobe-Bugle, in an incredibly beautiful mountain community.

There is a lot I would like to post about the week -- from our hands-on training (finally!  Some concrete and PVC and flow rates and surveying!) to experiencing the indigenous Ngobe culture to spending the weekend at the beach afterward, but I haven't had much time to write up a post, and I wanted to post something today.  We are finding out our sites tomorrow, and that's what I'll want to talk about next!

Instead I am going going to post pictures and a limerick.  The pictures are of the training community, my host sister, a crazy giant poisonous caterpillar, and the beach were we spent the night.  The limerick is, of course, about what fun it is to build a latrine when you only have hand tools at your disposal:

Working with concrete can be a trick
When you don't have tools from which to pick.
And how I lament
For settling intent:
A vibrator's better than a stick.
