Buenos Dias Señor Chavez
... use of the air conditioning system! Buses, when they have AC, are cooler than a freezer and reckless passengers who did not bring a woolen blanket, hat and gloves will know how difficult it is to sleep with no leg space while polar winter is raging in the vehicule. Lucky ones will also have loud latino music throughout the night (I was spared that one this time!). If nevertheless you convinced Morpheus to allow you in its ...

Visiting the Green City
... web page, but have had no luck so far.
That morning we also visited a grade school that one of the local Rotary clubs started about 10 years ago. There is still work to be done to finish it completely, but it is fully functioning. Since the area they chose is poor, they subsidize the food for 200 students, charging only $1 a week for breakfast and lunch for each student. For many of them, this will be there only food.
