Sharp Thinking

Today's post will be short since I have been too busy and it is now 10:00 at night. Tomorrow I will tell you about the school at El Tambo!One of the interesting things I saw again and again in Ecuador were these security walls that were all over. They would build a wall around a piece of property. The wall might be anywhere from 6' to 7' tall or so, and on top of that they would stick shards of broken glass into cement in order to deter intruders. I really wanted to get a picture of one of these walls, but never got the chance. Luckily Rich took a picture and has graciously allowed me to borrow it for this post. Click on the picture for a closer look.

There is something terribly creative about that.

So simple, yet very much a deterrent. :)

They do that in Bolivia too.
