San Martin de las Piramides, Mexico

 Everybody wants to be Louis's friend, not only on Facebook.

Kids here are very nice. There are 48 students in Louis's class. Louis's teachers will be helping him do his homework personally every afternoon for 2 hours until he is caught up, all on their work time. How fantastic is that?

 Finding a house like this is not easy. We also had to furnish it. They have all we need; it just takes time to find the stores and woodworkers.
