This is us with Deanna and her family. Peter and I were amazed to discover the amazing similarities between our families, beyond the obvious size. Patrice their oldest, asked me if in Canada I was chastized for having such a large family. Unbeliveable!! (The answer, by the way, is yes!)
This is their home in 2006. The Cespedes Carbajal family spent years building this home. Brick by brick. Unfortunately, adobe brick. In August 2007 an earthquake shattered this house and thousands of others on the southern shore of Peru. Hundreds lost their lives, but our family was blessed to have been saved from harm as their house litterally crumbled around them. Adobe brick is an inferior building product, and is much cheaper than comercially manufactured brick. News of the earthquake to minutes to reach us, but it took 10 months for us to recieve the news that "Our Family" (as we call them) were safe and sound.
