Pedals, Cacti, and Tamales

A number of dogs guard their owners' houses from the rooftops in Mexico.

Josh and I had a slow start this morning after a late night at the Manu Chau concert. We are managing regular 8-hour-a-night sleeps here... and wondering how we pulled it off in Roanoke on so much less? Octavio told me it is México. The country is just plain laid back. How nice.
Some much needed updates.
My bike, of course, is fixed. But then Josh had a small accident this weekend where he stood up to pedal and the pedal broke off (it is at least a 50-year-old bike with 50-year-old pedals). He wiped out and did a number to his shoulder. All is well now... he is fixed and the bike is fixed and we happily rode our bikes downtown again today.

We were pleased to discover a store selling yeast so that we can make homemade crust for a small pizza and Palin party tomorrow night.

We have had beautiful weather now, as it seems to have switched from the rainy season to dry. I am hoping that our cactuses will now thrive.

Tonight we made our weekly trip to the tamale stand. We thought it would be nice to document the experience, so here is the fine work by Josh.
