This is a traditional ngäby home, likely owned by the woman in the picture. Note the cooking area in the back and the baby wrapped up and hanging in the hammock.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCnH1uUHAfA0UTwhg0zoHpxyjTgZTrvaDJ1-nOfgRWsEBkLjMpEN6sAnv4YOtpdoF8QwOqNYs5kGj3OxQu6SU6wDNVV1Qi0uDt1MZOTaQi_KfK4LCct3ONf3cOhqo2Yn3cil_5odmqPte7/s400/R1.jpg)
Now, which way is the horizon? We made a trip back to Quebradas Llanas ("Broken Rims") a difficult to reach place. The trip itself is beautiful, and I had gone there twice before - once by mountain bike with friends and a second time on a borrowed ATV. This time we drove part way and hiked in the rest. About 30 kms were walked that day, but it was very rewarding.

The black circle marks the area we left our car in. We would still be walking 5 hours later before turning around.

This ngäby woman just works in this 'finca,' or farm. She would never be able to afford the equipment seen in the pic, and is living rent free in the house as long as her man works for the owner.

If you look VERY carefully, you'll be able to see two small shacks in the center of the photo roughly in the middle. Each house sits on its own little hill. That's part of our territory.

Here, the girls had a great time witnessing to the lonely man who lived there. Not sure he was paying much attention to what was being said :)

All in all, a great day. We had a number of great conversations with very interested people who kept asking us to come back. We will, in two weeks.
