We haven´t been able to upload any pics yet, but hope to do so soon.

Today we visited a small business co-op that made and sold wire artwork. Beautiful stuff. This business co-op was the brainchild of a Basic Christian Community (a Basic Christian Community orBCC is like a ChristCare Group with a political edge) who, after reading scripture and reflecting on their lives and the lives of other Mexicans, decided to start this business to be able to pay people just wages for their work. Since people over 30 can´t find jobs if they´re fired or layed off, and the ones they did have barely met their basic material needs, this BCC thought that this would be a good way to run counter to the prevailing economic dealings.

This afternoon we´re visiting with another BCC Co-op. Tonight we´re listening to a speaker talk about the benefits of NAFTA, since yesterday, we heard about the challenges and disparities NAFTA presents to many Mexicans.

Last night we went out as a group and had a couple beers. Some folks did some dancing (I just watched). It was a lot of fun!
