HOMES BABAHOYO




Homes are built on stilts to prevent flooding during the rainy season.  Notice all the aerials and satellite dishes.

We talked with missionaries from a few years back.  They told us they had to visit the homes by canoe and wear gum boots to avoid getting wet and muddy.

Home are built with bamboo for ventilation in hot humid weather.  We were told that well built bamboo homes could be more expensive than block.

Some of the homes are brightly colored but the majority are not painted.

Beautiful setting!

Some of the homes are tilted.  Not sure if it was a result of  the earthquake or poor construction.
