telchac puerto

Yesterday Alicia took me to her family´s beach house near Telchac Puerto, which is east of Progreso. We ate chilaquiles for our meal, which is like a casserole with corn tortillas, onions, salsa verde, tortilla chips, cheese. Then a dulce vendor was walking on the beach with a tray of sweets, so we summoned him to buy meringues and dulce de coco which is a coconut candy.

I now have a candle (with Jesus on it for extra protection) and a foco de mano so I won´t be sitting in the dark at the Hotel Caribe if we lose power from Emily. I also bought some snacks to eat in case I can´t go out to eat.

The students will stay in their houses around Merida. We ran into a few of the host families yesterday in the supermercado and they are more worried than the students. The students had a free weekend this weekend and some went to Cancun, and others had planned to go to the beach. But alas, they were told that they can´t go.
