Buenas noches de Jon y Diana,
We decided that it was important to open this blog with a tribute to the amazing food we have received during our stay here in Mexico. The food at the ranch is not only superb, but accented by Mari’s hot sauces. We enjoyed two tonight alongside carne asada burritos with guacamole and beans. One was hot, made from pico de gallo peppers and slightly sweet, while the other was milder, made from roasted ancho peppers and tomatillos. These sauces have spurred our appetites and left our lips tingling. We’ve consumed quesadilla breakfasts with tomato and cilantro salsa, chicken tortas with fresh cotijo cheese, and various meats wrapped in hot wheat and corn tortillas. We’ve never seemed to hunger or want for more.
Today was our second day in Villarutia. We finished dumping dirt on top of the tires we had placed to form a retaining wall and capped it with a berm. (new word for Diana!) We also began the process of leveling the land next to the community center and dug out a trench for rain water runoff. Brian put his architectural skills to use helping the two local foremen assemble rebar foundations for a much more stable wall around the community center. We ended the day by pouring concrete for the wall, playing soccer, and getting attacked with sticker thanks to the myriad of small children.
The drives to and from the communities have evolved into oldies singalongs thanks to San Diego’s 105.7 The Walrus. MJ, the BeeGees, the Eagles, Diana Ross (without the Supremes), Steve Miller Band, and Steppenwolf have energized our crapvan and gotten us ready to work. Though there are too many commercial breaks it is a relief to find good music with the CD player broken.
Peace and Love from the Team.
