Our last day.

This morning we headed out to this mans house. His name is Pepe.

He has built his house by himself, and he lives off of the resource's of the land. He has a chicken to provide him eggs and a donkey to help plow the fields. Pepe is in his late sixties and is a very macho man. He wasnt huge but his body was practically pure muscle and he made the job look easy! He had us help build a roof to put over his work area. We made a ton of cement and used it to help hold up tree trunks as posts.

All of the food we had in our house that we were not going to be able to eat we packed up and gave to Pepe. He was so thankful. Pepe had a very humble and kind face. He was patient with us and very kind. Wes and I have his contact information and when we come back to Cozumel next summer we will see if he needs more help.

After we helped Pepe we hung out in the pool for awhile and then headed into town to walk around the plaza with some puppies and kittens to see if we could get them adopted. We had a bunch of people say they were going to go to the shelter soon so i hope they really will.

Now we are packing and getting ready for bed for our safe flight home. See you soon Dallas.

Peace.

JB
