Long time no write

Whoa! I have been overwhelmed! I started out so well and then…. we have been busy! August is out of school so we took a trip to Acapulco, worthy of an entire post itself. And and and who knows what else. It has been raining cats and dogs pretty much every couple of days so the grass is green as are the hills, everybody’s pools, and some suspect stuff hanging on the line. MOLD! We have got to appreciate the good with the bad however and I love the rain. The smells are incredible. There is some magical flower blooming in the hills and the smell wafts down every morning. I have asked Pedro, our handy man (and all around mountain man), what it is, and he doesn’t know. It is an enchanting smell of the color green. Yum!

We have also poured the ceiling on our new suites and almost finished the second floor.
Things do go up quickly. Here are some photos of the day that the ceiling went up. We had to order a big pump truck and three cement mixers of cement to cover the whole thing. That being said the whole process only took a few hours. They get the tube positioned over the formed up ceiling and suck the cement out of the trucks and a whole army of guys to spread the stuff out.







The process can’t be stopped once started as that will make weak spots. And you can’t have that in this earthquake prone place!






























We have also started on the new public bathroom. It is less exciting at the moment. Just some bricks sticking out of the ground. I will get some photos up when there is something to show. Our contractor will be going up to Michoacan next week to get a few more of those cool carved posts that we have in the courtyard to use for the bathroom. It will be nice.

Well I am going to make this short so that I can just get it out there and start on the next one. Any requests?
