Today was a dual mission day back up in San Juan Arriba. We went back to continue wiring houses, and we took supplies up to build a pilot EcoStove. After a bout with vehicle problems, we finally got up the mountain. We unloaded the stove supplies, and the proud future owner pointed out where we need to haul our set of 50 pound bags, 40 pound adobe bricks, stacks of more conventional bricks and various other stuff. "It's just over there..."


The trek turned out to be a half mile down the hill, over the river and through the woods.

We finally got everything there with a lot of help from the locals. Jerry was the designated student, and he really rose to the occasion. Here are Jerry, Neptalie Jesus Diaz and Geraldo. You'll remember Neptalie from Jayacayenne as our stove building expert. Geraldo is the designated expert-to-be for Arriba. Great job Jerry!

And our other hero of the day is Boyd. He "took one for the team" by taking a very stressful eight hour round trip to Tegucigalpa to pick up our luggage!!! Way to go Boyd. You are definitely the man.
