Clearing the Roads



Mexican have a completely different work ethic than Canadians or Americans. Yesterday there were hundreds of workers clearing the dirt and weeds off the main road into San Carlos. They were working with either a pick-axe, a broom or a spade. No backhoes or graders here. Did the Mexican social security system put these people to work?

We have put the truck camper into storage and now have the long hard task of fixing flat tires on our bikes - damn goat's head thorns. Three flats so far.

There will be plenty of cheering on Sunday as our next door neighbours are from Saskatoon, plus there are five or six other families from the home province. Go Riders!
