Hello again from Akumal! I can't stay long, as just about everything I do is dictacted by the hours of daylight I have left...and the bikeride back to the ranch would not be fun in the dark. The road stretches for two miles and looks as though a meteor decided to crash into it every ten feet. Even more fun after last night's rain! things are good, hot, sweaty, drippy, buggy and blissfully quiet. I worked in the garden early this morning, groomed dogs (there is nothing less fun than pulling a tick the size of a cashew off of a poor pup and watching it leak out. I'm sorry if that's graphic, but thats how it goes.) Afterwards, Simon and I groomed the horses, let them out to run, walked the dogs, and planted a few chaya trees. All in all, a good day... made even better by the frequent, brief rainshowers that cooled everything off. I'm settling in well, and looking forward to more and more time with the dogs, the horses, and with my hands in the dirt. :)
I miss you all and love you all.
More soon.. I'm getting to the internet about twice a week, maybe less. and Jacob and Dad and Kiley, I'll find a way to call you three soon!
