Juxtapose

That is Mexico so far. BMW dealerships sitting right next to slums. Malls near buildings constructed almost 2 centuries ago. Glittering shop windows with piles of trash infront of them.It is strangely beautiful and so very different than home.

Unfortunately, pictures may have to wait. The wireless is pay-per use here and the credit entry is not secure by my computers standards. So it will have wait.

Today was tourist central. We went to a cathedrial built in the 15 hundreds, a free museum full of Myan ruins, had lunch at a roof top cafe over looking the square, and shopped in an open air market near a giant park. It is all pretty intense and I was really dioriented this morning when I woke up after sleeping nearly 15 hours. My room over looks a HOME DEPOT parking lot. This world is strange.

Tomorrow we are up early and truck off to the job site. We will be split into groups and are expected to do 2 concrete floors per day. If we can go at that pace, we may get friday off to explore some more.

More tomorrow.

PS I am tired and may have misspelled things... sorry Greg.
