PRAISE FOR THE MORNING!

Subject: MONDAY MORNING..

This Monday for me is delightful!
But I have to share how my morning began...
Remember I slept here in the clinic for the first night last night.  I organized my little room, took a nice shower and wrote and read for awhile.  It was dark, tho the sky was beautiful.  I was alone.  Til Jose y Dani returned.  I explored a little, tried my keys to the kitchen, office, etc.  There are 2 turkeys in a cement courtyard between the kitchen and office, and outside my room.  I slept well, tho it rained hard.  I awoke to the turkeys gobbling, instead of roosters crowing.  The sun is out, hot already.   
I checked out the kitchen, pretty nice, tile, nice sink, stove, refrig.  Mexican style...  flys, ants, stuff sitting out.  Made coffee (Jan left me a coffee pot).  I will make some meals on my own, and some with Pablo and the staff, John, Joe, Dani, Laura and Mercedes, the kitchen/all around helpers, etc.  There was a huge pot of water boiling.  I asked if they were going to make beans.  They said No, por los pavos...... (the turkeys....)   Got the picture?  
Sure enough, they carried the big pot outside in the back yard area.  The turkeys were already hanging on the fence, desanguinated....   They then put the turks in the water to get the feathers off.  Remember your grandma doing that??  They'll cook the turks today in the oven somehow with a lot of tomatoes.   I'll let you know.   See photos...
I told you it was a land, a life of contrasts:   a beaut. clinic ready to do brain surgery.. well, ok, not quite, and turkeys being killed out the back door.  Tzeltal ladies in traditional dress, not speaking Spanish, pulling a cell phone out of their bosom...
More later!!    Have a conventional day...
