Las herramientas

So we now have been at our new home for over 1 week! I spent the weekend getting things organized and cleaned up. I pulled the seat covers off the truck seats and washed them. The water looked like Katrina flood waters in the 9th ward. Pretty sick--- but atleast the truck will smell a little better. So we are making some progress here. We have had several meetings with contractors, and I just had another meeting this morning. I think this one is going to work out--- the guy is real interested and has been very helpful already. I also have been getting to know our neighbors a little more. Our neighbor Johnny is pretty cool and can teach you a lot about the plants and animals. He is what we would consider a farm boy. His family kind of lives all natural--- its cool. It helps my spanish a lot to hang out with him because I learn real simple things and can build a vocabulary by doing so. On top of that he is a pretty smart kid--- I think we are going to have some cool times.

The other day he brought one of his little parrots over to show me, his dad actually caught this thing I guess when it was a baby.... maybe they will go catch me one--- FREE PETS! I also caught a glimps of a Tucan yesterday, and I didn't have to wake up at 6am! I was driving home from the project and a Tucan flew across the road--- it was kind of surreal. We also visited a church yesterday. We didn't get there until the end and then we roasted like the shish-ka-bobs that we had for lunch today. I think we are going to start just going to their Saturday night service when it isn't 15million celsius. Getting used to the metric system is different as well.... I don't really know how far anything is or how fast I am going or how hot it really is. I guess one day I will take the time to do the math.
