Nicaragua January 14th

This is the field along the driveway up into the Bradley House. Horses graze here, and today and yesterday, a few guys were hand cutting the grass for hay- with machetes. I can see what backbreaking work this is, and wonder why they don't use the scythes (?) with long handles, so that they wouldn't need to bend over to cut the grass.
The same spot, but with me turned and facing the opposite direction. The pink house is rented out, the yellow building in the back is Bradley House.

The driveway up into Bradley House. it is only wide enough for one vehicle, and today as we were leaving, we had to pass a small horse drawn carriage. Luckily, there was one small pullout area for the horse.











This girl was being asked to stand and turn. It was very difficult for her, and she was starting to cry.





The staff at Bradley House.






Lunch break is from 12 to 2. This is one of our translators at lunch...taking a bit of a nap on one of the floor pads/mattresses.
