This might have been one of the best days ever...
5:30 - 6:30 English / Spanish with Celso
~7 - 8 more sleeping...
~8 left to meet Bibiano
Walked through Chichen, and passed Jim on his way back from his weekly banana run.
At the entrance to Chichen, Edgar was just dropping off some of his riders (vendors in Chichen).  While they were unloading, he told me to hop in, and gave me a ride in to Piste.
8:30 waiting for Bibiano who came to tell me that he was sorry he was late; and that he had to take sa shower.
I busied myself people-watching and taking pictures of the old church an dbig grackels on the belltowers (for The Raven :) ).
A random branch crashed down next to me and after the shock wore off, I inspected it to see if there were any baby birdies.  I had almost finished my inspection when a truck full of laborors arrived, parked on teh sidewalk, and stared at me...  I told them "Se cayo" (it fell); and one asked "Hay pajaritos" (are there little birds)? to which I could proudly answer in the negative and all the workers breathed a collective sigh of relief before disembarking from the truck to begin working on the masonry around the square.
Two little boys arrived and kept staring at me.  This is surprisingly common as most of the village children have never seen a humongous, frizzy, curly, gold-haired white lady with blue eyes.  So I thought nothing of it.  When the mother and sister returned to them, the little girl stared at me.  I continued with my stretching and trying to pass the time.  They approached, and the mother asked if I was _________( wish I could remember...), to which I looked at her quizzickly...  She said "an actress"... And, of course I laughed.  They all left, gloomily. Bibiano said I should have told them sure and taken pictures and handed out autographs and looked it all up later :)  Of course I didn't.
On cue, Bibiano appeared, and we began our adventure.
Obviously there are tons of photos to upload, but I am fairly preoccupied in trying to find pizza around here... It's Saturday night for goodness sakes -- someone should be making pizza :O
