This morning Magda, one of Estela´s sisters, took us to a fresh spring-water pool. It was absolutely gorgeous, clean, and full of beautiful fish! I could have stayed there all day long,the spring was surrounded by big shady trees and the water was the perfect temperature! I want to be there every day! Unfortunately, it is privately owned, but lucky for me Madga and Estela know the owners!!! I didn´t have my camera with me but pictures to come...
What else....while Delia was making bread I was outside talking with David, one of Estela´s brothers. I am not sure how the conversation started, but he started talking about Dany´s family´s land. What land, I asked....People here own land collectively, he explained to me, and her family is on some of it. Her family may seem poor, he said, but they are rich. Very rich. They own land, tienen tierrra, and this, my friend, is worth more than anything...Wealth and poverty can be SO relevant...Tis in the eye of the beholder, my friend, the eye of the beholder...more to come later...
