Foresteros

I’m in a Jeep club here in town and last night we had a dinner at one of the guys homes. Despite the language barrier that still exists to some degree I’m able to have a good time and enjoy good food. Our host is retired and had the opportunity to catch our dinner the day before the sea. It qas the best tasting fish I’ve had in a very long time.

Spades lessons

image

Playing spades right at this very moment. We are currently 40 points behind.

image

But as the scorecard will note I’ve already played nil twice.

image

Matt shuffles. He prepares himself for total domination by me. As traditional rules dictate a third play of nails will be considered a technical win.

image

This is the crap I’ve been getting this entire game, but none the less I’ve still been able to pull through to what will likely be a victory. I wanted to go nil, but nobody could play now with this hand. So far I’m playing this hand pretty well.

image

Dana is a strong one this round. I am playing my third nil for this game. They are literally freaking out right now. But this is a very difficult hand to pull off. The question now is with four cards remaining will I be able to do it. 3 cards now remain. Two cards now remain. And the grand nil master has once again demonstrated why he rules at spades.

image

I just bid another nil as a last ditch effort in light of my crap hand.

image

That ace presents a problem fot my nil. Four cards remain. And we crushed it with my nil!

Jeep LEDs

image

Carlos came over last night to help me install some LED lights on my Jeep. It took a couple hours to complete and it was a good learning opportunity for me to understand how to install those. Once finished the lights look and work really well. They are extremely bright. I love them.

Plants

These three tomato plants are all that remain from my crop this season. One of the tomato plants is doing really well and looks as though it will probably survive until producing fruit.

San Pedro

image

I spent yesterday afternoon with the men from my church in San Pedro. San Pedro is a small village just north of the city. Despite its close proximity, it’s actually much greener and much cooler. For this reason I wouldn’t mind looking to buy land there someday in the event we stay in Sonora longer than we currently plan.

This photo has wonderfully captured my skills at jumping rope.

La Huesuda

image

We went out for some ribs this afternoon with some younger people from church. We used to frequent this restaurant before another one opened closer to our house that offered the same sort of food. After experiencing the new restaurant, I’m a bit disappointed in this one. The portions are significantly smaller and the price is significantly higher. As such, I don’t see us returning here anytime soon. Even so, it was a lot of fun as they have a nice patio in the back that can accommodate a larger group.

Reforma 255

image

This is our second attempt at eating at Reforma 255. I was not to impressed on our first visit, but the food today was pretty good. I had a corn soup and a dish I’ve never heard of with chilies poblano filled with cheese and meat. Similar to chiles rellenos, but with no sauce on the outside.

Doctor Springer

image

We are back at doctor’s office today for fertility treatment. The doctor is often punctual but today he was an hour delayed and so we had an opportunity to get caught up on the Mexican version of Jerry Springer.

Casa de Long

We had lunch over at Janet Long’s house last Sunday after church. Great food and good times, we played various games and had a lot of fun. We ended up staying roughly 8 hours.
