Diamante and stuff


Dustin and Vevi, venturing off for our trip to Diamante, a smallish town not too far away




Erica y Romi, our tour guides




You gotta go, you gotta go…




the town, leading down towards the river




…and back up to the top of town





So there’s this huge statue of Jesus




El Río Paraná




The whole gang (including Jesus)





Oh we’re such tourists!




Information board




He looks pretty tall from down here




Week of Prayer, the speaker was Ron Clouzet. His wife gave us hugs and chocolate




for some strange reason I always feel like I’m about to get slapped


our whole group after church on Sabbath



Dustin and his roommate Misael, from Peru. On the background, Gabby drew/painted the horses, she’s quite the artist



Moras! They’re mostly like blackberries, but they grow on a tree



and there’s no thorns!



So you know how doves are all a sign of peace and hope and the Holy Spirit and nice things like that… yeah, so here there’s an infestation of them here, like millions. It’s pretty much forbidden to sit under a tree, you’re an open target. I was just lingering (after picking some berries) and a paloma (dove) waaaay up in the air nailed me. I swear they aim for us.



Lunch at Judith’s house…



…so some of us had more energy than the others. This is about the time we decide who is going to be productive for the afternoon, and who is going to remain unconscious for the greater part of the day.
