Mexico and bike ride

Went to Mexico on Sunday with 4 other volunteers.  We bought some tiles for the sauna and some Mexican candy.  the others bought booze!  might look next time to get some brandy.

we stopped for lunch:

tacos, tamales, enchilada, rice and beans.

I ordered a Michalada..  Jerry orderd a dark beer...


looks like I ordered the correct drink!  not sure why he got a small glass.

Eric went for a bike ride after lunch.  had to take pictures of all of the fields..

palm trees...


this field has not been planted yet..



Sweet onions are ready to harvest. 


they bring water from the river to a canal in order to irrigate..


a freshly planted field..


this is freshly ground up cabbage!  (Dirt Slaw) it is right outside of our compound, and it stinks!!


Eric rode by a Cow that was laying on the ground, the other cows were standing around looking at it.  It was making noise and having convulsions.. he assumed it was dying! 
a half hour later he came back and if you look closely you can see the calf nursing!!



Eric is not the farmer he would like to be..  always something new to learn.
