Hot Day today, 4 days left, and addition to 2nd Mexico Trip

Sunday, March 27, 2011

Forgot to mention an interesting fact about Neuvo Progresso. The town only charges people taxes on their properties when all the work is completed. As a result there are many one room houses where the so called plans are to add a second addition. What you see in many cases are steel reinforcing rods sticking out from the roof...supposedly for a 2nd floor which usually does not get built...


You can see the rods sticking out from the roof top.

Another thing I forgot to mention is at Vicky's house. You can see at the side a large pile of bricks, which they clean and sell for money...trouble is when Armada does the washing she has to walk on them to hang her clothes up...they also have to walk over them to get to their vegetable garden.


You can see in this picture inside Vicky's house that there are virtually no tables or cupboards to store anything, there is a dirt floor.


Yikes...only 4 days before we leave! Was not going all that quickly until now...but seems like things are speeding up. Supposed to be 99 degrees today and it is humid. It was hot yesterday and the air conditioner quit...luckily I watched Rex who fixes them in the park the last time and saw that it was a loose connection. I managed to fix it myself quickly...whew!d

Terry and Arlene's quit the day before they left, but they are going to leave it until next year. My neighbor also had his quit yesterday and got Rex to fix it for him.

We went golfing with Raymond and Lorraine on Friday...Naturally Katie beat me again...then we had drinks and munchies at their place and it was fun.

We were supposed to go golfing with the Canadian group this morning for 9 holes and then breakfast afterward, but Katie's back was sore(probably from beating me at golf), so we took a pass.

We are going to Bob and Judy's later for Supper, Raymond and Lorraine will be there...we both get a kick out of Lorraine, she is funny, and we like them both.

more later....
