Week 1 Pictures


Here are some pictures from the first week's update, as well as a few extra, for those of you who didn't get a chance to see them or didn't get the pictures in email.
The "vivero" (guayusa nursery) before work on it started

Building the vivero

The mostly-finished vivero. This is pretty small compared to other ones that Runa works with, but it still takes a ton of work to build

Cass and Anna, two of Runa's international (British and American, respectively) employees who work down here in Ecuador, Me, and an at-times-unfriendly parrot during our morning guayusa ceremony

A car bridge leading to a community outside of Tena
Aww

Archidona, near where the Runa office is located

Yuca, a staple food in the diet here that can be compared to potatoes, pretty mealy and filling

Mountains pretty much surround everywhere I live
