4/4- Fundochamba Cont.

Wow, as I look at the date I realize that it was about one year ago that Adam and I left our jobs and started our roadtrip across the US. On April 4, 2009 we were in the Grand Canyon! And on Easter of last year, we were dyeing eggs with Drew and Jennifer in Austin! White eggs here are very expensive so no dyeing eggs this year. Nonetheless, Happy Easter! Eat some ham for me!

And without further delay, here are more pictures from beautiful Fundochamba!

The small church in town and the Good Friday procession (if you click on the picture you can see that there is a man carrying a cross and people dressed up)

More gorgeous views of the surrounding area

Ethan's host family's dog Campeon- in his site the dogs are sweet, unlike Liz's site where you have to carry rocks in your hand in case a dog attacks you!

The following pictures are of Ethan making cheese at his host family's house. They get fresh milk from the cows, add a tablet (some kind of enzyme to get the milk to separate), and then once it solidifies, Ethan put the solid parts through the grinder (not sure the name of the tool!). 

Grinding away

Then Ethan took a handful of salt and mixed that in

Shape it into balls and put it in the press- tada, queso fresco!

Coffee plants! Now I know what they look like!
