Swine Flu

This is my attempt to update ya'll on the last month or so before the summer! Many of you have been wondering about the Swine Flu in Monterrey. We had a little scare during April and after two weeks of quarantine found out from the Mexican CDC that not even one person in Monterrey had the flu! We made the most of the quarantine by keeping active and hanging out as a community on the property! Here are a few shots from those two weeks.

Ruby, Christy, and myself leaving the property on a desperate trip to the store. Everyone had to wear masks!

During our quarantine we had several girl's soccer games. Sports for girls are not as a high priority for many females in Mexico as they for females in the USA. I was proud of so many of our girl jovens playing... even with a field covered in mud!

Ruby did an amazing job organizing a volleyball tournament for us! Different teams played until we had a winning team! While my team lost the first round, we did win the prize for the best attitude!

One night the Garcia's treated us all to a cookout... but not quite what the American staff expected. We had whole grilled rabbit! It really was rather tasty! I even tried to be like the locals and sampled the brain... probably won't do that again!
