It’s been a while, I know. Sorry, Mom.
A few weeks back we went to a party at Hilary’s house for our friend Ramiro, who had been imprisoned in Oaxaca last year, basically for being in the wrong place at the wrong time at a teacher’s strike. Lots of you already know the details: if you don’t, check out this Amnesty International Action Alert. He’s free now, and with his wife and two kids. This summer they moved up to Eugene, Oregon, where Ram has been doing some bird work.
It was purely amazing to see Ram free, and healthy and happy, and with his incredible wife and two great kids. Again, a huge thank you to all of you who took the time to sign the petition, write letters, donate money and give good advice. Here’s some pictures that Kerry took- I stole them off his Flickr site. Go here to see the rest.
Joshua and Cami, Ram and Ruth’s really cute kids.
Here’s Ruth helping Joshi to some pie.
Ramiro and Joshua.
Ramiro and Kerry. This is at the point in the evening when Ram had entered the “I love you, man. No, really, I love you, man!” stage.
