i found out how to change to language on this blog.... so that means i can use spell check! lucky for all of you... half way into my stay i figure it out. oh, it makes me laugh.
since i have been coming to acapulco for so many years i have some great and memorable taxi stories. seriously, great taxi stories. anyhow, we were riding in a taxi the other day and it made me laugh because we were riding in a new taxi. i knew this because not only was the interior was new, clean, and completely intact, but the taxi got up my hill (mountain) without sounding like it would implode. most importantly though is that the speedometer worked... funny, but true. anyway, i thought it was funny.
i had construction duty this week and some of the older boys have been helping out. which is funny because this was an opportunity i got to know them in a different setting without all the little kids around. well, jonathan was one of them helping and on friday he and i had cement wars. needless to say, i have a nice new layer of cement on top of my left shoe.
patti... i will answer your question and explain the great wonders of doing construcion. we were scrubs because we are required to wear pants and goodness knows that i would keel over and die if i was wearing normal pants out in this heat. well, i only have one pair of scrubs... so that means one pair of scrubs for four days of constructions from 8am-12.30pm. which equals lots of smelling and overall grossness. good thing i really dont care. :) i do take a shower afterwards though... for my sake and everyone elses. :)
during the morning part of the day on friday, the team was asked to de-weed/clean up/remove debris/ remove dirt/ etc from a patch of buried side walk out side of casa hogar. and let me tell you that some of these kids needed dawn bradley for a mother when they were younger because for the life of them they did not know how to pull a weed out a the ground. they need to come to my house for a summer and spend it with my mother... they will know exactly how to pull all kinds of weeds. that story was for you michelle. :)
well, i don't have any more stories that i can think of. i guess it has been a quite week. i dropped off my laundry at the place across the street... i am taking a chance that it will be washed this time. it was this place or lug it down the hill and quite frankly i will take the chance of it not being washed again before i lug it down and back up the hill.
i cant believe i have been here for a month. it has flown by. i am happy to be here the kids and i are both excited for orangewood to come. they ask me every couple of days when orangewood is coming and who is going to be in the group coming.
bradley family, have fun in nice cool michigan with the holzhauers. eat lots of cherries for me. :)
