The time has arrived and our new family member is here. Mali, a beautiful mutt with a honey coat, is now living with us. While she isn’t potty trained (damn, that is a lot of work) - she has already stopped the puppy nipping. Here’s a picture of her when we first met three weeks ago.
Needless to say, as a first time dog owner (since being a child) - there is a level of stress for your dogs well being that is always present. She is very very thin, and our understanding is that she was born from a street dog. So she has had a few bacterias already in her short three month life. She doesn’t seem to be eating the dog food we are giving her (purina puppy food) and I hope that we can increase her health. She probably weight 8 or 9 lbs right now. She is a sweetheart, and we are glad to have her now.

A few times this weekend, I looked around and couldn’t believe where I was. How did I end up in the tropics? Living here?
On Saturday, Chema and I took a trip to the beach. Specifically Telchac Puerto, a small beach community around an hour from Merida. We were there visi
ting friends of Chema from his days at Universidad Marista, to say goodbye to Simon and Linabel - two newlyweds moving to London for Linabel’s PhD studies and eventually to New Zealand, Simon’s homeland. The party was laid back and fun, with plenty of beer and ceviche (seafood marinated in limejuice with lots of onions, cilantro and tomatoes).
The weather went from sunny, to cloudy, rainy, windy and back to some sun. I played (and lost) volleyball, took a walk on the beach - but didn’t end up swimming! Drank too much beer, ate too much good food - and stood out by not speaking enough spanish. Here are a few pics to capture my experience.
