Day 21

Day 21, three weeks. It absolutely does not seem like I have been here that long. On the other hand, its hard to imagine I haven´t been here longer.

Today was rather eventless. I have more or less assimilated into everyday life while waiting on the concrete to be poured. I run errands with Ephrian, help with chores, and play at playtime. I feel like I´m just another resident now.

We did finish everything we can do with the gazebo in preparation for the foundation. The posts are up and now its obvious just how big this thing is going to be. The concrete quote was quite a bit more than expected but it´s do-able. I´m excited about the next step being completed. The frustration has been mounting trying to get this part done. The language barrier and the culture of ¨mañana¨ is starting to wear on my patience.

On the bright side, it gives me a lot of free time to explore the city and more time to get closer to the girls. I feel like I could get just about anywhere in Nuevo Laredo that I needed to go. I´m even quite certain people are starting to recognize me as the American in town.

Hopefully tomorrow will bring progress...
