Day 6

This morning my wife had another day of home school with the kids. We are still waiting for the private school to process everything and give us the green light on registering. We may have found a car we can buy from a Toyota dealership about 15 minutes away from here. Our landlords found it for us, they have been treating us more like family than renters. Almost every day they have sent handymen to fix little issues, that I can only imagine landlords in the states would roll their eyes at and get to maybe months later.

After “school” I made egg salad sandwiches. With all the great Mexican food we’ve been eating, I wanted to remind my children of at least part of their roots, and the culture they left to come here. Almost 25% of my children ate lunch, so… my skills are improving. After that we drove to a park up the hill from our place. The park made me really sad, it was really run down, but the kids in the neighborhood still played on it daily. From what I’ve seen, there isn’t much of an infrastructure from the local government, everything seems a little run down, something a local infrastructure would be able to cure.

After we played at the playground, we came home and Bonnie made chicken soup. We then left to walk down the street (about one hundred feet) to another restaurant we haven’t tried. They served tacos, quesadillas, and tortas. The meat they had was tongue, stomach lining, beef, chorizo, and pork in spicy sauce. We ate until we were all full. ($23) Then we came home for the night.

Tomorrow we might be buying a used car. Wish us luck, good night.
