We spent the morning cleaning, and cleaning and cleaning! All the dust from the dry states we traveled through had settled in our home. We vacuumed and washed rugs and wiped floors. It was exhausting mainly because we are not yet used to the humidity and it was very hot and humid. Finished about 2pm after filling the water tanks and dumping the waste tanks. Went into Chetumal with Kathe and Colleen and found a welder. Actually, we found his shop but he wasn't there. Tomorrow at 9:30 we will go back and see about having something built for the tow bar. Later we moved the rig out to Kathe and Colleen's land a few miles away. It's beautiful but thick jungle, lots of mosquitoes and other beasties including twinkling fireflies. Colleen has been clearing it with a machete and she's done a lot of work. Personally, I'd hire a bulldozer and get rid of it all but I'm not one to live around a lot of trees and bushes, I like to see the horizon. It's gorgeous land though and right on Chetumal Bay. They have some great plans for developing it, it will be good to watch it take shape.

Our Info
Since September of 2001, Mimi and I have lived in our 27' RV, Tortuga, spending winters in Mexico and Central America and summers in the US. We've had a condo on the Caribbean coast of Mexico, in Akumal, for over 10 years and in 2007 we bought a 100+ year old colonial in Mérida that we are starting to renovate. We lived with our 2 Yucatan beach dogs Hombre and Chica for 4 years and in October of 2007 we added another rescue, Cuba. It's getting crowded but once the house is done we will have lots of room, maybe too much room. I wonder sometimes if we will all get lost in so many rooms.
