I spent the first half of my summer in Oaxaca, Mexico, as I have been known to do. This summer was particularly exciting because of the projects that we had lined up. In June and July we built six homes for families that live and work in a garbage dump (and I don't mean a nice sanitary dump like the ones we have here in the U.S.) and we started constructing a second children's home in a small village named Cuicatlan. The reason that I thought of this today is that I was going through some photos from the summer and this one stood out. On one of our visits, apparently I decided it would be great to give one of the boys, Jorge, a death hug, and Bryan thought it would be just as entertaining to do the same to me. Good times. It is easy to see from the photo why I continue to spend a lot of my time in Mexico - we have so many laughs and such a good time with these kids.
