oooh Aug 19 and electricity all day- oops better knock wood. Went to Ometepec today. Such a nice drive, we basically went for the drive. Saw another lady walking a pig- but this was remarkable. The lady had to be 110 years old, maybe 57 pounds. The pig, at first I thought was a small cow, was hug and had to weigh 500 pounds. She was pulling on a rope around his neck and he never even moved his head. He had stopped in a patch of nice green juicy weeds and he wasn't going anywhere. She was yelling at him with a toothless scream, but he ignored her completely. I waved to her with a big smile, she looked at me like I was nuts.
We had to brake once for a dog who ran out into the street when we were going about 60, and once for an iguana, he looked black, who was hurrying across the road, luckily we were going much slower, it was just a few minutes after passing some donkeys who had a baby doneky with them who was all jumpy and cute.
It seems Everardo is going to work with Gume next week, starting tomorrow to help him build a rock wall with the rocks he got last week- turns out he bought them and we're gonna buy some too for future projects. He'll work for free and down the line this will be a good thing, Gume will help us out when we need it. Gume also told us that there's going to be a radio tower built here in the next few days. Anyone who buys a radio will be connected by walkie talkies and it will be used for emergencies- I guess everybody trusts the phones as much as me ha ha. So we think we will go in on this project too. Right now the radio and handsets sound expensive, it might be $300, but we'll see once it all becomes available. And as a community project we will probly join even if it is $300.
We went today sort of looking for those blankets/throws, but not expecting to find them and we didn't. Everardo says they come from Hildago. There are lots of items that come from other states in trucks and people then walk the roads of the towns selling them. We got 2 wood chairs that way- they guys selling them cam form DF. So we are just gonna relax about it and when we come across them we'll buy them.
Well tomorrow school starts so we'll see if any kids come for English class afterwards. Also if Everardo's going to work with Gume I will have to keep myself busy. Shouldn't be too hard. First I need to start an exercise regimen, we got batteries for my elliptical, but I need to do it early before it gets too hot. I also need some organization! I have been throwing all paperwork into one spot, so every time we need to check something we go thru the same pile. Ugh.
