Yesterday we went to a school in another outlying town near Quyquyho where we met the Mayor of Quyquyho. His story is pretty amazing. It was encouraging to hear yet challenging as well. His father was Mayor a few years ago but was murdered when trying to work and change a system that is very corrupt. After his father was killed he wanted to honor his father by continuing his work. So he ran for office. The only problem was he didn't have any money. Instead of proposing a plan to fix problem then presenting it to the people. He went door to door asking each person what they felt needed to be changed. Then from what the people suggested he proposed plans on how to meet those specific needs. That's how he earned the peoples trust and won the position of Mayor.

    Nice capture of blazing sun in the water reflection. As for the mayor, personal one on one care -- very personal, especially for the Latin culture. How awesome for the current Mayor.//Janeen -- a friend of Jory & Eileen
