We had another uneventful day here in Mexico. We are very strict about staying indoors and “sheltering” here. On Day 1 of this trip, we registered ourselves with the embassy here and they frequently send out emails and text messages when needed. We are getting a lot more communication from the embassy as of late.
The Embassy did a Facebook live event yesterday, with questions and answers. The bottom line is, in the very very unlikely event that Mexico closes its borders, we, as US citizens can still drive into the United States. That’s in the event air travel is suspended and we can’t find a flight out.
Our friends and family have been very worried about us being able to get home. We hear you, we acknowledge your fears, but we are safer from the virus where we are then back home. Much safer. I know you’re all reading news stories and watching the 24 hour news cycle. Every time a person texts us about a news story about the Mexican/US border, I have probably read the article a few days prior. We aren’t nearly close to even discussing coming home yet. In the event that we do head home before our planned departure date in July, we probably won’t blog about it until we are back safely in the States. Enough about the pandemic drama.
After lunch we drove around town looking for a park. We would not stop if the park had people in it. Low and behold we found an abandoned grassy area for us to ply soccer in. It was nice and peaceful, until we started competing. There was no one around thought and it gave the kids some much needed physical activity.
After playing soccer, we went home and let the kids watch a few movies on YouTube. They watched “Super Libro”, otherwise know as “Super Book”. They kind of enjoyed it. Bonnie made shrimp fried rice for dinner and then we put the kids to bed. *
