I spent part of the morning walking to the bank to get money out. On Thursdays, the kids classes make food as part of their lesson. The third child made sushi, and the second child baked cookies.
On my walk back home I took a different route. Maybe not the best idea. I walked through a part of town that was mostly very narrow alleys. I didn’t feel very comfortable so I walked quickly through. It’s astonishing how much poverty there is here.
If you look closely at the photo below, you will see circled in black a community of aluminum or tin houses. These houses are literally shacks with no running water, plumbing, and barely coverage from the elements.
It was really quiet walking through this neighborhood.
I fly back this Monday for a couple weeks to get a handle on some of my cases and filing and mail. When I get back we will have a month left. I really want to take my family to the Yucatan peninsula but all the archeological sites are still closed. The hotels are slowly opening back up June 1, so I will be monitoring that. If Chichen Itza opens up in June, we will take the next flight out. I’ll leave that up to God. We are so blessed, if we miss it this time, it won’t be the end of the world. But I sure would love to see it. 🙂
