MEXICO HABITAT FOR HUMANITY BUILD - March 2012

View from our building site. Yes, that is volcano steam on the left.

Magnum bars!  First since Morocco!  A hit with everyone. Team leader Steve Dobie is to the left of me.

The first view of our house that we were to work on.

The work team for the house I worked on, plus family and other HFH workers.  My terrific roomie, Jeanne, is on the left side of me.  We got all the walls up, including the reinforced corners.  Still to do by the local affiliate were the doors, windows, roofs, electrical and plumbing, and floor.  Lots of hard work by all involved. 

Great lunches prepared by local women

Pyramid of the Sun - Teotihuacan, toured post-build.  We got lost enroute, so arrived too late to climb it, plus it was quite hot.  Good enough reasons for me!  This shot doesn't show it, but there were hundreds of people on it, plus the yoga folks in the foreground.

This gives a better idea of the steepness of the Pyramid.

Grilled cactus and onions for lunch, anyone?

Sharon & Fred Winslow, who was a co-leader of the build, both retired Methodist ministers and my tour guides after the build.  Here we are at Cholula, 2nd century B. C. largest pyramid by volume in the world, but most of it is hidden by overgrowth.
