Hi All, a typical weekend here in rainy season. We spent Saturday at an "Extreme School Makeover" - one in a series of projects being carried out by amazing non-governmental organization, Glasswing International. Our friends Celina and Ken are the driving force behind the NGO and inspire us to jump in where and when we can. In this case it's the Centro Escolar Del Peru, a public school in need of TLC.

Glasswing organized a small army of volunteers who scrubbed, landscaped, created murals and painted walls to let the school kids know someone cares about them.

One of our favorite things about living where we do is watching thunderstorms build and roll in over the volcanoes that surround San Salvador.We were not disappointed Saturday evening, a doozie came crashing in, thunder and lightning, wind-whipped rain - some very dramatic cloud formations:

| A view from our balcony |

| Here they come... |

| Alien invasion? |
Later in the evening Celina, Ken brought their baby and volunteer/intern James over to hang out, have a bite to eat, a few beers and and some conversation. That's our Saturday; Sunday will bring a workout, some NFL and some spectacular turkey chili, and FYI Kathleen is somehow programmed to make chili whenever she feels football in the air - who knew?
