Our new friend from New Zealand said that my soup was the tastiest thing she has eaten in Mexico.  As she lived in Mexico D.F. for 5 years, I took that as a huge compliment.  Of course she may have just been kind.  Jim said that he tried some soup without salt, cheese, and lime, and that the condiments definitely made the meal ;)  Chef Josue also liked it, but now I will attribute that to cheese and lime, as well :)
We cooked pineapple and mame (um, it tastes just like papaya, but it isn't...) over the fire in some butter.  I scored a new frying pan for Jim.  His is thin and also has a hole.  Our friend, Abraham, gave me/ us one from the maintenance shed that is much more durable, and slightly larger, but has lost its handle.  Nothing that a bit of corrogated cardboard can't fix in a pinch ;) 
My friend and neighbor, Debbie, remembers the bicycle incident...  Gladly this crash was minimal.  The worst casualty was my new pair of pants; but after they make it through my personal Mayan laundry service, everything will probably be back to perfection.  The other day, I was lounging around at 7 AM and drinking coffee while I chatted with one of the laundry men.  He said "You know, I did not iron those pants..."  I was like, thanks, I've never ironed them... but I felt embarassed.  They take better care of me than I do of myself.
Debbie, the lady from New Zealand is delightfully like you.  You even share a haircut.  And, she wore a turquoise shirt to dinner this evening :)

She probably has a similar accent too! I do have a multi colored turquoisey shirt! How funny. Glad you are having fun. Haleigh and I are having fun in NY too...
