With the visit of my parents to Cuba in January, I have sent out a flash drive with long-awaited updates. (I cannot post pictures from Cuba with such slow internet speeds).
Church in Itabo.
In one of my earliest blog posts I mentioned this church as
an example of sustainable agricultural practices that are beginning here on the
island. Now I have the opportunity to share some of the pictures.
The back portion of the property. Crops pictured here include: potatoes,
beans, onion, garlic, yuca, malanga,
mango, avocado, and at the very end on the property in the beginnings of a pig
pen with its own methane processing plant along side.
The bell tower of the Itabo
temple.
The formation of a tornado.
Luckily it never touched ground because it was literally nearly above us.
The chicken coup. The chickens
here produce nearly
100 eggs daily.
Yes, they have turkeys too.
And rabbits too
These are the bee hives. They
assist with the pollination of the surrounding crops and also supply the church
with honey. One interesting thing I learned about these bees is that the entrance
to their hive in never left unguarded. The little circle at the bottom middle
of the box always has a bee keeping an eye out.
