For those of you who like to vacation, this is your update. We took a weekend away from the team and went to Colonia Tovar, and old german city in the mountains of Venezuela. The buildings were really nice and we ate a lot of sausage and kraut.

We also did a two day jeep tour around Gran Sabana in south Venezuela - at the same time that we renewed our visas in Brazil, which was close by. Gran Sabana is probably the greatest place on earth, besides kansas and nebraska.

Well, for the past 6 weeks we have been working at a boys farm for kids who have been living on the streets in Caracas. Here they can live in a real home, have clothes, food, and be somewhat normal. We just finished our time there, but want to share some pictures. It is a real working farm with about 800 chickens and a variety of crops such as coffee, bananas, corn, cantelope, mangos, and a bunch of other stuff. We also taught school everyday while we were there. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Here are just a few agriculture pictures from the boys farm we just finished working at. We gathered eggs every morning and cleaned them, about 1,000 per day
Here we are 'cutting the mountain' as they call it here. I did a lot more machete work than i thought.
