Who are the people in your neighborhood.. in your neighborhood... in your neighhhboooorhooood....

Ed and I have often said since we purchased the house here in San Pedro Nohpat how fortunate we are to have such wonderful neighbors and neighborhood.

 This past week the local small Presbyterian church invited me to their Vaction Bible School. They had organized it for the kids in the neighborhood. I was so impressed. They put together such a wonderful event for the children. Please remember that the over-whelming majority of our neighbors really have to work very hard to make ends meet, so the amount of time, love and effort they put into this shows the immense hearts they have and how much they want to offer good things to the children of our pueblo.

Please enjoy the the beautiful faces of my neighborhood:

What a great experience :)

Tiempo de vacaciones en Progreso

Alas, once again it is time for fiestas and fun as the majority of Mexico is on vacation. Our quiet, for the most part, deserted beaches are now teeming with happy vacationing families.

We had lunch down at the Progreso Eladios and checked out the action.

Vendors are everywhere.

As you can see in the following pictures, the beach was very active. Hard to believe this is the same beach that we would visit and not see another person for hours.

It is so fun to see all the families and kids enjoying their time at the beach.

Telcel was giving out kites. We saw many kids enjoying the fun of flying a kite.

They had a few large stages set up for bands to play and of course plenty of rides for the kids to enjoy once night fell.

Street performers are popular here and in Merida. They perform in the intersections during red lights hoping for a few pesos from appreciating spectators sitting in their cars.

And of course the good news is that we get plenty of rain now and our jungles are back!

All for now :)
