Puntas y Nubes
Yesterday evening at twilight, the mountains toward Cuanajo to the south were enlaced in clouds. The photo was taken past the points of the rejas and power poles of our village.
La Calle Cerrada
The street is not called a "cerrada" for no reason. It effectively ends in ruts and boulders near the end of our wall.
Update: Over the last year, many tons of gravel and a lot of grading have extended our street upwards of 3/4 mile further. Still, the navigable parts eventually turn into cow trails, which emerge farther along on the highway above the Yácatas of Tzintzuntzan.
El Monstruo Verde
The large, vinous plant to the right of the gate is a chayote. One month after this picture was taken, the plant had grown to the extent that it had to be cut back. We expect a large crop of large chayotes.
UPDATE: It is now mid-November, and the chapulines in their mating frenzy have consumed much of the Monstruo. However, a cold period has reduced their activity, (or else they have spent their ardor) and the Monstruo will undoubtedly survive the winter.
