3 Things I'm Thankful for:
1. I'm getting better at understanding money terms in Spanish.
2. Coconut water - its yummy!
3. Friends who will pray immediately when the need arises.
Wednesday is market day in Ajijic. They have a street designated to booths/tables full of items to sell from fruits/veggies to fish/meat to cheese and also purses, jewelry and more. After the market we could go into the town square for more vendors and booths.
James has been hit by the Mexican intestinal bug. He lasted about an hour at the market then requested a ride back home where the bathroom and his bedroom is closer. It has hit hard and fast. Hoping it will be short lived and he can finish out the week.
Since James went back, Lexie and I wandered the market shops and some of the stores in Ajijic. We soon found the rest of the group and went to lunch at Los Telares. Since I was expecting the menu in Spanish, I was a little confused when it was in both. One column was written in Spanish and the next column was translated into English with Spanish words. I had molcajette stew which is served boiling hot in a lava bowl. It was not spicy hot and had a tomato based sauce. The meat in it was very good.
Lexie went horseback riding with the other teens after the market. They can rent horses for one hour for 100 pesos ($10). The horses are trained where they are allowed to go. Part of their ride was down near the beach. Of course two adults did accompany them on that ride. I can only imagine what 5 teens would do on horseback in a Mexican village.
Thursday is back to work in Mezcala. It is hard to believe that we only have two work days left!
