Labor Day

Now that I have spent a couple of days here I can report just a couple of things.
-The home is very large and really an oasis in what is a pretty rough neighborhood.
-The people we live with are great (although three of them got out of dodge right when we arrived). The home is cared for by all of us who live here but is mainly directed by the Patrones Jon and Anna Eshleman who are here for about a year.
-The weather has been un poco frio and looks to only be getting more cold (we're talking mid-50s right now so not freezing or anything)
I still will be adjusting to daily routines and my role here at the house but every day will include at least some home maintenance, some reading, and some adventure. This is the real third world and we gringos really don't blend in too well. It will take time for the neighborhood to adjust to another gringo and prove to them our intentions are to help. With time it will happen...more to come soon.
