Today we spent most of the morning unpacking a few hundred pounds of clothes, and supplies. It wasn’t very easy corralling four children into un packing their own luggage, but luckily my wife has more patience than I do. The oldest and third child chose to room together, and the 2nd child and 4th child decided they wanted to room together. It was interesting to see how quickly they came to that conclusion, me and my wife call them the odds and evens. The odd and even numbered kids play very well together. I have no explanation. My wife is a saint, we all know that just merely based on her choice of spouse. But she hung in there and got nearly everything un packed while I set up my office.
We discovered very early on that there was no water pressure and so the landlord called a handyman to fix it. The hot water comes from solar panels on the roof and the water main was not turned all the way on. We eventually made it to a restaurant (my good friend Juan’s mothers favorite) and we ate very well, from the attitudes of everyone in the house, it was apparent we were very hungry because all the fighting ended when the food arrived.
I was hoping to lose weight on this trip and get in better shape. However according to my wife, a regional tradition is to serve chicharrones along with chips and salsa.
After lunch we went back to our home and relaxed a bit, and then visited the corner store that’s about 70 feet away from our house. We bought a bunch of supplies, got to know the store owners name (Jorge), and then came home to play some board games. Quick tip: The card game Munchkin is extremely not appropriate for children.
Tomorrow the kids get interviewed at their new school to see which class they should be assigned to.
