Uphilll. Both ways.

You know that story about walking to school, uphill both ways, in the snow?

I now officially know someone who can beat that.

I spent this morning working with Dona Gloria in the Tortilleria. Gloria has made tortillas for the Ranch for 18 years. When she first started, she made the tortillas at home, and then walked to the Ranch. She carried 300 tortillas on her head for an hour to deliver them. All the while, raising her eleven children. There is a thirteen year difference between the oldest and the youngest.

Today, at 78 years old, Dona Gloria continues to make all the tortillas for the Ranch. Now she can make the tortillas here at the Ranch, and take a bus to work but still, we made 1,100 tortillas this morning.

I think that beats uphill both ways any day.
