A friend of mine once told me something about life in Mexico. "Things in Mexico are not ever fixed, they are just waiting to break". I'm not sure if I got the quote just right but you can get the general idea. We have had a serious string of things break and or go wrong since we arrived. I figure that this is all a test. A test to see if we have the mettle for life in Mexico where help, repair or replacement may not be around the corner or a phone call away. Most of these things are certainly manageable and or fixable but finding and communicating our needs makes this a much bigger challenge. Here is a brief list and we have only been here a few weeks.
-Broken ball valve in the house water storage tank-still broken
-Toilet valve and handle needing repair-twice
-Broken pump from the cistern to the roof storage tank-repaired
-Back door latch to the truck not working-repaired
-Driver's side electric window motor arm broken-twice
-Truck air conditioning broken-repaired and charged
-Ashley's roller luggage handle broken-repaired...sort of
-Surfboard fin broken-replaced
-Car suspension shot-repaired with fingers crossed
-Property gate latch broken-replaced
-Dillon visit to vet for skin infection-treated
So, we've been knocked down quite a bit so far but we keep getting up and moving on.
