Howdy



My friends Perla and Rubito (pedro) Walking home with dinner by the ears.

It rained, finally. It has been raining off and on for three days and it has been great. The weather has cooled down, the roads arent all dusty...it is nice. I moved in with another family to get to know others in the community better. The family is a farm family so the living is different. My room is bigger and I have a door this time, but my bed has a mattress that is maybe 2 inches thick..if that. Needless to say, my back is pretty sore. Work on the house continues..but slowly. I have a rough and the walls are almost done. Im working with two womens committees now, I´m not sure why there are two...either some type of rivalry or simply because the street is pretty big and there would be too many in one group.


The other night we were eating tortillas for dinner and the mother offered me milk. I don´t like milk, but she milked the cow that morning and I didn´t want to offend her or be culturally insensitive so I obliged. She poured the milk and big chunks of....stuff came out with it. I was scared, what the %$@! was that? She didn´t seem to be bothered by it so...I tried some. It was DELICIOUS!! I dont even LIKE milk. It was slightly warm from being boiled earlier and sweet, the chunks were some type of biproduct from boiling but it tasted like the freshest, sweetest mozerella ever.


Im keeping this one short. I hope everyone is doing well. Email me if you have time
