Finally getting started in Mindo

Our land in Mindo where we finally got started on our house as of today when work started on the foundation with some escalation. Here is how it looked to start with.

And after some cleaning about 2 weeks ago and a bit more leveled out and the picture is taken from the corner of the land where the house will stand. The rest of the about 2800 m2 land will be part open space for the kids to play, part garden with flowers and part garden with things like yucca, bananas, herbs, orange tree, lime tree, chili, papaya and whatever fruits that can help with a great lunch and of course the mandatory BBQ area will be arranged by yours truly.

The fence was planted recently as well and while this is growing the barbwire will keep the cows out from the place. As fence we chose a mix of Crotus, Bugambilla and Cucarda.

Kiara represent her class at school

Kiara was chosen to represent her class at school as "Mardina" or godmother during sport-day so she got to dress up instead of having the usual school uniform for a day.

Notice that Kiara and the boy are almost a head taller than the rest of the class and even taller that everybody in the class next to them who are one year older. Maybe that is why they were chosen to represent the class?
