Muchacho Polaco

Tried this for the first time yesterday. It was an amazing experience. Four potatoes cut in under 30 seconds.

We are in Guaymas now. I ate far too much carne asada. This remains one of my favorite things to eat. The weather is perfect for being outside.

It’s Mother’s Day and Yun and mi suegro are making a cake before we depart fir Guaymas. Some beach might be in today’s itinerary.

I met Marcos tonight. He wanted money. I told him he should get a job. It’s complicated apparently. He likes to drink wine and enjoys sniffing paint. I suggested he stop doing that. He had an interesting story. I asked him to give me his best look for the photo.

We had some friends over on Tuesday to hang out at the pool. The water is pretty nice, but a few degrees warmer would be even better. After a day at the pool we went out to eat at what is becoming one of our favorite places: Las Yuccas. So good.

The harvesting of a garbanzo beans begins on Monday. These are always exciting times.

Went to the lumber store today with Asael as I am having him build me a display. This was my first lumber store in Mexico. Wood is rather rare here and as such is about twice the price of what you would pay in the US. But one nice thing is that they will cut the wood to the dimensions you desire. So I had them make all of the cuts for the display and so we only need to assemble them.

I planted some gardenias a week ago. Ive had a hard time in the past keepong them alive. This was mostly due to the alkaline soil in Tucson. This time I put them in a planter and fertilized immediately. They seem to be doing great.

Yun went bowling the other day with some of the younger people at our church. I didn’t go because my foot has been a lot of pain since my little accident involving the scaffolding in my living room. She says she had a lot of fun. Maybe next time I’ll go.

We have a lot of owls in our neighborhood. I see them every night. Usually on the edge of the roofs on our street. Last week I started noticing them during the day as well. I had one in front of the house just watching us nearly the entire day.
