Anthill

There are many-many ants here, and for the moment we like them. We really hated the ants in the USA, particularly the fire ants. Damn aggressive, violent scum; a thief gang. That’s the fire ant. But these ants here are bigger and red, they are calm and focused on their job; if they can, they avoid human contacts. They commonly eat corn, buds, berries and similar pure vegetarian food. It’s really interesting to watch them as they carry the food into their home. The land around the anthill is clean and tidy, sometimes it’s a circle with a 10 to 15 feet diameter. They remove everything to the bare soil. There is a cone in the middle of the circle, a small volcano, that is the highest spot of the living place of many thousands, a look-out tower, I could say... The entrance and the exit is a small hole on the top of the cone. Maybe it’s pretty rainproof like that.

Mexican Hospitality
Banana Grove September 6th, 4:00 PM North: 23.2344 West: 99.8137 by FERENC IVANICS It’s not common but sometimes local people don’t help us. Our guess is that they are afraid of us. I repeat, it’s not common. Generally local people are friendly and helpful. Like this guy on the picture.We were just walking on the road when he invited us waving two bottles of Coke. We thankfully accepted the invitation, we could have used a rest. Although we didn’t really feel tired we weren’t sure if the...

Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera Plantation September 6th, 1:50 PM North: 23.2681 West: 98.8436 by FERENC IVANICS I guess most of you know what Aloe vera is, and what it is good for. As a gardener I haven’t met her, but I know it’s a succulent plant and I know it’s used in lotions and soft drinks, but that’s quite about it. But I thought it would be a good idea to present it here: well, this is how it looks like and this is how it’s grown.

Rainy Season
Roof Over Our Heads September 6th, 8:00 AM North: 23.3159 West: 98.9944 by FERENC IVANICS Our luck has followed us from the USA, it turns out that in Southern Mexico rainy season starts in September and ends in November. In tropical areas there are two seasons: dry and wet. And now we’re getting deeper into the rainy one. Our tents haven’t really been tested in serious rain, and the reason is: quite frequently locals find us covered places to spend the night.Apart from ranches and private...
