Shawn and I have settled into a pretty good routine. We sleep in an
mother-in-law apartment attached on the back of Yoatzin's house. It
is pretty cozy though hot. "air conditioning" is a open window and a
fan on the floor. The evenings and mornings are very pleasant but the
days are very hot. I never feel like I can drink enough water,
especially since you have to buy it first. Apparently May is the
hottest time of the year in the Mexican Interior. I guess the rainy
season will start within the next couple weeks and that should even
out the weather.
Yoatzin has what amounts to a nanny/ house keeper that
works for her and lives there. She is 19 and as worked there since
she was 12. They see her as part if the family. She makes us
breakfast around 9 or 10 and lunch around 3 or 4. Lunch is the main
meal here. The food is delicious but I decided I'm going to keep food
in our bungalo (what they call our apt) because I'm always very hungry
at night.
During the day and the evening we go out for a few hours
and talk with the people of Fuentezuelas. We are trying to learn how
the pueblo functions. We will also have a town meeting everyweek or
so to teach the people o think together to address how they can make
it a better place to live. We promised that we would pick up some
groceries while we are in Tequis(quiapan) today. In Fuentezuelas they
have dozens of kwikimarts but nary a grocerystore for 7 miles. We
rode the bus in today(8pesos) and walked a mile to use the wifi at the
hotel we were using. Hasta la proxima.

Interesting little tidbits you are giving us. I can wait to hear the rest of the story. Maybe after you get home you will have a better chance to write more details.
ReplyDeleteBecareful with food in your little apt so you don't get weird bugs. Keep it in tupperwares or something.
