The rain is back!!! Thank goodness! We needed it so much. Not only was the weather topping out at 106 some days (with 30-40% humidity) but the areas usually filled with lush greenery are dried out and a constant fire hazzard.
So we decided to take advantage of the weather cooling off a bit (we are now topping out in the mid 90's) and head to Progreso for lunch.
The sky full of clouds is such a great sight!
Even with the little water, the flamboyanes trees are full of blossoms.
The gym where Ed works training the trainers is Sport's Center. It is on the drive out to Progreso.
Below is a common sight, small and sometimes rather large fires to the side of the roads.
The road into the Malecon (the boardwalk) was busy.
We decided to eat at Eladios that is actually right out on the beach.
Eladio's is right next to the long pier we have shown you before. So we walked down to the water and walked up the beach and under the pier to the other side.
The large pier has restricted access for trucks etc. that are bringing goods off the ships at the end of the port. Next to the large pier is a smaller one that is open to the public. Here fishing is a popular past-time. You can rent a pole and try your luck on the spot.
The beach was beautiful as always!
Teaching English has been fun. I have been extremely busy between my regular classes and now I have been given 5 additional classes a week on-site at a local production plant in a neighboring town.
Below are some of my regular students. All great kids. They have been working hard on special class projects. I will video tape them when they are all complete and hopefully upload the videos for you all to see their hard work.
Alberto, Esteban and Jose (Alberto reminds me sooo much of Ian)
Monica and Alberto
Ana and Ricardo
Well all for now!
