Our Experience with Public Schools in Bahia Asuncion, Mexico

By -


One of the most asked questions about our decision to move to Mexico was if we were going to homeschool Mikayla and Gabriel.  After all, Tracy and I have been successful teachers for many years.  Well, we decided to make a video and share our thoughts and experiences after a few years living here.  Gabriel also has some great perspectives as well.  I hope you enjoy!

 Sorry for the suspense!  The power went out yesterday around 1:30 pm just as the main brunt of the storm was subsiding.  We decided to take a drive around town and see the. damage. As I thought, we were spared major damage although we had sustained winds of at least 50 mph and hard, steady rain.  We lost some of the lamina (tin) roof on the chicken coop and a few plants were blown silly but otherwise we were spared.  We did lose a phone pole on our property, too. Last night was one my favorite in a long time.  The kids played charades in candle light while I tried to sing kareoke from my phone.  We laughed so hard.  It was a very fun evening. We spent most of the day drying out, putting things away, and pulling weeds.  The chickens are super happy, the dogs and cat are good, and the garden is super happy now. We appreciate everyone following along and sending positive thoughts.  We heard the road out of town to Vizcaino is not passable yet.  I also heard from a friend in San Juanico w

Hurricane Kay 8am Update

 The storm is starting to kick up a bit.  Everyone slept well and is ready for what's to come.  We have a few minor leaks in the house but we are prepared.  The rain is starting to come down and I think is supposed to last until tomorrow.  The brunt of the strom should start around 9 and last until mid afternoon. I walked out to check on our rooster, hen, and baby chicks.  Our rooster, Reyna, was drenched and not happy.  It appears he was stubborn and slept on his perch.  I put come cinder blocks on the tin roof of the coop and made some more shelter inside.  They will survive but they don't too happy. The light just flickered a bit so I hope our electricity stays on.  If so, I'll post again in a few hours.

 The wind is still blowing hard out of the east.  I am sensing we won't get hit as bad as expected.  But with that said, the brunt of the storm is coming.  I know there will be extensive damage around town and to the roads.  From what I can see from our place, the erosion of the roads is not too bad yet but the bulk of the rain is still to come. We have moderate leaking in our house but not too bad.  Having Starlink has been great.  The kids are watching videos and building Lego while Tracy is busy creating lesson plans.  As long as the power stays on, we are in good shape. I wanted to point out a few things that have really helped us weather this storm.  First off, I created a few makeshift rain gutters.  I did this to collect water from fog and drizzle.  But it's really helped us out as I empty the rain collection containers and this has minimized water building up from saturation. I also bought some rain barrier bags.  They expand when wet and then channel the water to a rec
