Building a Palapa-Sustainable Housing

It's affordable, (well it doesn't cost a million dollars like a house in Vancouver ;) )super green and environmentally friendly. It's something I want to learn and I think alot more people should too. It's a very valuable skill here in Mexico but the great thing is you don't have to go to college to get a degree for it or take out huge student loans..."esta es la vida". This is the life!! Working hard, but at the end of the day you can really see your accomplishments and you haven't hurt the environment. Instead you've built a home and you've done it sustainably.

So we had a great time tonight, we got to be in a parade. I love Zipolite, I love it that even though my Spanish is not that good, we find our way to these events and end up participating. So much fun! Check it out. They all gathered and then we walked thru town and the girls with the baskets threw candies to the kids.

Zipolite Painting- by Artist Tina Winterlik

There was a fire and my camera burned in my cabana along with all my books, essential oils and lots of other good stuff. ;'( but I got out with my papers so that was the good news and I didn't get hurt...or worse for which I am truly grateful. Anyways I wanted to capture the beauty around me, at first they were awful but gradually they improved. Check them out for yourself. Note: they are not in any order.

I owe this idea to our friends John and Charlotte. They were the ones that suggested it. I had been buying the big cans of juice but they get expensive and Angel says they are too sweet and so they end up being wasted.

This is an easy way to stay hydrated and get your vitamin C. Super easy, all you need a is a knife, fork, plate and a glass or cup.

Tip: Always sniff each orange after you cut it before adding it to the rest of the juice. Just one orange that is off, will ruin the whole glass and you'll have to toss it and start again.

Kani the Cat needs someone to look after him for the next 10 months while his owner goes back to work in Canada. It's so sad, he's a super social loving cat. If your coming to live in Zipolite or know someone who wants an awesome cat, Kani is the cat for you!!

Buenos Dias!! How's everyone doing today? Had a great weekend. I was passing a local establishment and I could see they were setting up for a wedding. I inquired if they had a photographer and they said they had lots of people to take photos. I asked if I could and the bride asked if I was a Professional Photographer and I told her "Yes". She asked if she had to pay and I said "No", as I just wanted to do it for fun, with no pressure and because I'm not allowed to work here under Mexicos laws...yet, I hope to get my papers...

Anyways I got the go ahead. The sad thing was it clouded over just before the wedding, and just as the groom was standing waiting for her, and she was about to walk the aisle down the sandy beach, IT POURED!!

Pobre Sita! Poor Girl! She called everyone in and luckily I had a umbrella, I was the only one, I held it over the mother-of-the-bride as she came in. I had it because I didn't want my camera to get wet.

The wedding was BEAUTIFUL! They had it under the canopy/roof in the front of the building. The lighting was great as it was soft and so I was able to get some really nice shots without harsh shadows.

The bride and groom's spirit was so beautiful and you could tell by their actions, how deeply in love they are. It was so sweet, gives me goosebumps as I write this.

Later the rain stopped and we all went out and took photos of the bride and groom and all the family. I got some really great photos.

I made them into a 10 minute video and I'm going to give it to them as a gift.

We left as the ceremony ended, but later my girl said "I want some cake." I said "Okay, let's go see if I can photograph the cake." We were too late though as they had already eaten it. But they gave us some cake anyways and invited us to stay for the party. They had a fire dancer and everyone was dancing. There was even a little boy, Angel's age and they danced and danced. It was so cute.

So that was our excitement this weekend. I can't really put any photos of them up until I get there permission, maybe later today I can ask them.

Cool thing is Angel had met them. She met them a couple of weeks before when she was running around with a langua de perro stuck on her hand and I guess she'd Wow'ed them. And they had all remembered each other. It was very cool how it all came full circle.
