others have been doing. My roll has been in attending meetings the
first couple days. Friday i had the time available so i said i wanted
to be in one of the work groups. It was pretty hilarious to be in the
back of a pickup with half a dozen others while a group of mexicans
drove us to a construction site to do grunt labor. Only thing missing
is that they didn't pick us up at the Home Depot parking lot. It is
hard work mixing, hauling and pouring cement under the hot mexican
sun. As we worked those that lived there came out and helped us.
Even the woman were in the front shoveling graveland sand. Some of
the women had been cooking on the same stove outside the house on a
dirt floor for thirty years. So having a cement floor is a pretty big
deal.
That night as a reward we were rewarded with a trip to the central
plaza of the municipio seat, Tequisquiapan. It is a beautiful town of
about 30,000 people. Sorry for the brevity. Hopefully I'll find a
real keyboard soon and get access to the Internet for more than a few
minutes a night. Have been pretty worn out this week between the sun
and the long days.
Sounds exciting. Hope you brought sunscreen since you talk like a mexican but look like a gringo!
