There were a couple of workers on the ranch that could speak a little English. They called our camp "City America." It was fun the way they said it with an accent. : )
There were 3 couples in City America: our friends that we went with, the host missionaries, and us. Each couple had their own tent.
The host missionaries were very good to us and brought some mattresses for us to sleep on. It made all the difference for me. They also brought a solar panel to run 12 volt fans to help keep us all cooler at night. Another blessing! It was HOT and HUMID to say the least (like 90 degrees with 60-80% humidity) . I think I sweat BUCKETS while there!

The "bathroom"
(that is a toilet seat on a wood frame on a cement slab over a hole in the ground)

And the "shower"


"Clean water" (We used this for everything but drinking!!! That is called SURRENDER! It had leaves, dirt, and sometimes bugs in it)

The "dish washer" (and we used the "clean water" to wash dishes!)




"Fridge" and "pantry"...the bucket with the hanging cup was our "sink"

(and guess what? They don't refrigerate mayo!)


We collected some of our trash for the local kids and families...
some people's trash is another's treasure
