Can You See Me Now!

Here´s a little preview of where we are now. The video below (4) gets you thru the 2nd roof pour.
I should have video 5 up around the time we fly back to the states next week for tax time and then we´ll be caught up -finally!

The beautiful coloration you see on the 2nd story is acheived by mixing the red earth from the site in with the stucco before it was applied. So it´s permanent, aside from a little fading over time. No painting!

Roof Pour Crew 12-15-08

These guys all worked so hard in the hot sun to cement our roof for us. Afterward, they sat down to a lunch of chicken, tortillas, Pepsi, and a nice box of cookies from Penelope!

Thanksgiving Dinner At Uxmal


We were definitely missing family and friends, but we enjoyed a terrific buffet dinner and then a nice walk around the wonerful Mayan ruins at Uxmal for Thanksgiving 2008 (a holiday not observed in Mexico, as you might imagine).
