Today we visited the site where the bio-sand filters are made. It was a very simple yet very productive assembly plant. We practiced filling the filter with the gravel, sand, etc.
Tomorrow we will be doing it for real. We took lots of pictures that will have to be uploaded later since I don´t know how to do it ..... especially when the instructions are in Spanish.
There were two little boys (the sons of one of the workers) who were so adorable. The older one was very shy but allowed us to take his picture. I gave them M&M´s which they gladly accepted. Later, when we were watching their father make an actual filter, the younger one was sitting on the ground with his glass and spoon, shovelling like he had seen his dad do. Later, he added water like he had also known his dad did. It was priceless watching him. I think he was around 2 years old. Oh how adorable !!!!!!!!!
We also had a tour of Santa Barbara. Their culture is very warm and friendly. The lady at the restaurant we ate at for lunch was sooooo sweet. She was greatly appreciative of our patronage.
We are now ready to retire for the evening.
Talk to you soon.
