So my friend Julia's blog turned me on to one of the funniest things I've read lately...it's another blog. It's called Stuff White People Love. Pretty funny! http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.wordpress.com/
It's an ongoing list and my personal favorite is "Top Ten Hip Hop Songs White People Love". Another thing that white people love is Recycling(read that one too!). This is the perfect segue to our newest piece of news. Puerto Escondido is now recycling plastic. We're not talking Euro-US curb side fancy recycling of course but it's a start. So starting this week we're going to start collecting the plastic bottles that students toss and take them to the recycling center. Then we can all feel like we're saving the world and stuff and maybe people in this town will even begin to burn less plastic so we can all breathe easier.
Well it's almost March--beware the Ides!--and Feb. was equally as busy for us as Jan. but the winter rush is calming down and we're still busy but not so slammed. In other news: Our next door neighbor's property went up for sale last week for the hefty sum of 2million pesos(really just about 200K usd). It will be interesting to see if it sells quickly as they hope it will so that they can go from having literally nothing to the house they've always wanted. Pretty surreal.
Mike's music project has been going well and it's fun. Reggae,jazz,improv...lots of Manu Chao covers, some Mexican standards, very Mexican in a way but very fun! There's a weekly Sunday night gig at our "regular" beach bar that's been consistently crowded and people really seem to dig it! Mauro, our friend the Italian bar owner seems pretty stoked about it and there are some regular fans turning up. It also seems like they may have a Wed. night standing gig at a popular,hip spot called Casa Babylon. I wish we had some photos to share about all this but right now we have no camera although hopefully one will be shipped to us soon.
