This is Adelayda Sotello from Malpaisillo and her son Carlos Mario, in Nicaragua. Very very good people.
The lighter dog is the guards dog at UREQ and she decided to share her house with this new fellow and now they seem to be inseparable. I hate that big bowl of food which does not seem to get eaten, probably rancid, but I don't say anything. I just found out that the darker dog belongs to one of the teachers and she brings him to hang out on campus while she teaches.
We got pickleball started at UTEQ and the response has been very very good. It's hard to take good photos with my old phone but this will give you an idea. We had two meet ups using a net that the soccer coach had for soccer drills. But, then I ordered an official net on Amazon and that is what you see in these photos. We had to use the posts from the soccer nets and the students made it work and then they took a rest.
Two other January birthdays in the office. Esperanza and Bernice with me.
This is a pretty awful shot of our first pickleball effort at UTEQ. I have an old camera without a wide angle lens so this is the best I cold do.
Just a couple of charming streets near where I live....actually on the way to the lab where I was going to get my blood checked after having trouble shaking a bad cold.
I live near the bottom this street, 5 de Mayo,. It shows the mixture of vintage electric wiring and fancy condos just one hill away.
The local post office is in the white building next to the orangeish one. The first opening is where they park the motorcycles on which they deliver the mail and the second opening is the actual post office where you can mail things. It works.
A yummy breakfast at Veg Co, a local vegan restaurant owned and run by two sisters.
Some roof art, its steel mostly, which I noticed on my walk one day. Earlier I posted a painting of an automatic weapon which was on a wall of a house...I noticed recently that it had been painted over so someone objected...other than me.
