This is a view of Salinas from "the Cross"- a
small hill immediately above the village. A
nice place to relax for an hour and watch
people playing volleyball below.

| Quito was the first- and last- city in Ecuador that we visited. It became a base camp for us and a get away from Salinas. This is an amazing view of the city with the volcano Cotopaxi sitting in the distance. |
| This is the train from Riobamba to the much feared "Nariz del Diablo", or Devil's Nose. It turned out to be disappointing- just a tourist trap, with tourists fighting for the "good seats". |
| Working! We did do a lot of work, but we don't have many pictures of it because it wasn't very photogenic. This is Jason coordinating with Xerox Ecuador for the installation of a high capacity printer. |
| *Jason and Vanessa met up with fellow VIDES volunteer Valerie, who arrived in Ecuador in the Spring of 2006. |
| Every Tuesday in Salinas is a holiday. While some of the larger foundations are open for business, many people take the day off. Women spend the day selling, shopping and cooking while many of the men get drunk in the plaza. |
| Carrying firewood. Even the youngest of the family are expected to contribute. In the countryside, firewood is crucial! It allows people to cook their food, keep warm and have light at night. |
