Pool (maintenance) season.

 Last weekend was Easter, but here in the Yucatan, we are solidly in summertime temperatures. The kids have a two-week break from school, so the house is in a greater state of disarray as the children revert to their natural feral state. The kids, after an amazing tryout day/visit at one of the local montessori schools will be switching schools, again. Hopefully for the last time. The catch is, they start at the beginning of the new school year, and not sooner. So until then we wait, and the children stick it out the last two months before summer break. Everyone has been sick, which has put a hold on our pyramid-visiting plans. This is extra depressing because we now have our official license plates (bye bye paper tag!).

  For those of you who are reading this, and don't know why this is so exciting, let me explain. When you finally get your car at post, you have to wait to drive it until you have it plated. Usually, this happens pretty fast. But sometimes, things happen that delay the process. Like when you lose the title to your car, and have to send for a duplicate in the mail. Which is what happened to us. We had a photocopy of the title, but not the original. So, until we were able to provide the original, we couldn't get our tags. The only thing we could get was a temporary paper tag. While the paper tag lets us drive around town with (relatively) no problems, things get a little dicier when you decide to drive out of town to do stuff. Hence why we've only gotten out of town twice since we've been here. So, when we did get the tags, it was exciting! Then, one after another, we all got sick.

Life happens.

This summer is looking to be a very busy season of people visiting us, which is nice. I look forward to the friends and family that will be flying in to our corner of the world, and exploring some of it with them.
