Slept Well! Took a wash cloth bath... day 4 withOUT water! Carolina and the children went somewhere to take paid showers. Jose was busy working in the shop... The pics are start to finish of his project... he is quite the craftsman! Carolina's mother was watching Melanie and when Carolina and the kids got back we ate... cream of oatmeal drink and a hard boiled egg for dad and me.
Then we left for the bus station to inquire about buses to Patelul... on the way we went through the daily market... recall the largest flea market you have ever seen and multiply it by 3 or 4 and you might be close to the size and crowds that are in the market daily. MANY, MANY people ALL trying to sell something. There are very few jobs and most people have to sell things to make enough money to even subsist. Rode in another mini van/bus with 30 + people cramped in it!
Everyone is in a hurry... can't even wait for you to get off the bus before they try to get on... at one point, that made me so angry... I almost had an outburst telling the people trying to get on to WAIT!
After lunch of fried fish, which we got at the market, we went back to town to get some photos developed and while waiting for them, we walked through part of the market and even had a coffee and pastry in a little shop. From there we walked through a rough looking part of town to stand in line at a pharmacy so, Carolina could get some medicine. The line was 1/2 hour long. We walked home about a mile or so through some rough parts.
Spent the evening doing the "how do you say in english/spanish game" with the kids and doing math problems... it was fun. The other adults all were busy talking.
We called Aaron this night to make plans to meet them n Pochuta on Thursday.
