Mexican thatching, barns, water systems, and more
I
promised you all pictures of thatched roofs...and then promptly
forgot about it. When I remembered and took the time to go
through my Mexican photos looking
for thatching, I realized that I had far too many shots to fit in one
post,
so I instead posted a series about Mexican architecture over on our travel blog. Head over there to
see Mexican
thatched roofs, a
picturesque Mexican barn, the ubiquity of
Mexican hand tools,
and a Mexican
gravity water system.
The posts were almost homesteading-related enough to share over here,
but I didn't want to annoy anybody with what (in an earlier era) would
have been an endless slideshow of travel pictures.
Finally, in case you haven't already, you can now read about our entire
adventure over there as well. Highlights included an amazing
journey by
train to get to the
pier, a
restful cruise (complete with security guards knocking on our door),
seeing a
trail of army ants and their associated wildlife at the Mayan
ruins of Coba, and a
fascinating glimpse into Mayan culture at a steam
lodge on Cozumel.
I hope you'll especially pass around the link to the last adventure
since the steam lodge is run by a very like-minded soul who could use
some better exposure. Tell all your friends!
