Me procrastinating = you get to see puppies

My host family decided to sell the brown puppy that appeared in an earlier blog entry in favor of two other adorable puppies, below.

host mom and sister (in the foreground) and some neighbors

Fuel for my host family's wood-burning stove in the background, 7-year-old with his
camera phone in the foreground. This puppy's name is Oso (bear) because he's fat and
white and therefore looks like a polar bear.

  1. Nice "everyday" shots of your family, human and canine. (I like your title.) It surprised me to see Gonzalo holding a cell phone.

  2. Cute puppies, but I had a similar reponse -- a child taking taking a picture on his cell phone? Is it common for people, even children, to have cell phones?

  3. Most of my middle school students have their own cell phones, but paying for minutes is the real question. You don't need to have a contract here, you just re-charge your minutes when you run out, which for many Guatemalans is often.
