Out of order pictures




Hey! It`s David! Long time no see. This is me relaxing in my kyha...hammock and drinking some terere. I had a picture of me in my work clothes but it wont load...so you get to see me clean and not so sweaty....a rarity in Paraguay.


Close up of Sesame. The pods on the side hold the seeds



Pigs. The neighbors pigs gave birth to a bunch o pigs...lots and lots of them.




This is what we do after we cut sesame. It is put up to dry for about 15 days. Afterwards we will put it in a tarp and beat it with a stick to knock the seeds out..then filter and clean.










Freshly harvested honey comb....yum! Too bad the fathr I am staying with ate ALL of it. I had maybe a spoonfull.....







My beesuit. No bee can enter! It is awesome, though its hot..very, very hot.







This is what a bee hive looks like, though no bees are in the picture they were all swarming around me.







This is Don Sakaria. He has 7 bee hives and he is really excited that I am working bees with him. Here he is revising a bee hive.
