Coffee is your friend
Good luck today!
Thank you!! I almost called out today, but then I remembered that I needed all the PTO I have right now for our Disney trip in three weeks. I'm really looking forward to being out of the tiny-human-walking-petrie-dish-germ-bucket stage. Someday, I'll be able to use my time off for me instead of her, LOL.

Well, I have been in denial for two days, but it is time to face the facts...
I sprained my ankle.
And guess what I was doing? Walking down the steps.
I thought it was just wrenched and I could deal with it, but then yesterday I decided to put a brace on it, and I examined it today and it was bruised and swollen. So now I'm on the brace. The small one. I'm not doing the big, goofy, immobilizing thing.
I wanted to go ice skating on Saturday but clearly that is not happening now

Sympathy like.
I know it's difficult, but try to take it easy. It will heal faster if you do.

Part 6!!!
After leaving the exhacienda. We went to a small group of houses nearby that sell homemade rompope and cajeta ( Think of it as sweets and traditional drinks and candy).
We purchased a few packages.. they were delicious. It was a looong time since I tasted stuff that good.
My mother and Sister also purchased their respective products and we went towards the small miner town nearby which was the 1st "Pueblo Magico" of the entire Mexico (magic town, as in full of culture).
This town has also very old churches, roads, etc..
Unfortunately, there was nothing much to do. As it was not weekend. During the weekends the town goes full of life. With shows, markets, etc..
This church is very special, Supposedly it had relics sent by Pope Jean Paul II. And also a ton of very different pictures and paintings of different styles on each side.
Interesting bit is, almost all these churches in the area had a nearby capilla connected by a small door (seen in this photo above).
After lingering a bit, we left the town towards a nearby mine which was still maintained as a guided tour with former retired miners as guides.
These mines produced hundread of tons of silver and gold (mostly silver). Which was sent first to the Spanish, then to the English corporations and finally Mexican companies before it was closed down as their ore was not worth exploiting anymore.
Most of these mines are already flooded in its lowest levels. So reactivating them would mean a huge cost in draining and repairing all the equipment involved.
These are the main tower crane which lowered the miners to the below tunnels. See the mountain on the background? that was extensively mined and a lot of the mine shafts and tunnels go deep into it.
There were a few engines, systems and machines in display, showing the evolution of machinery and the advancement of technology as time went by.
From the older systems of using a simple pike and shovel. To advanced pneumatic and electrical bore tools and the usage of explosives.
Note that there is a cost for entering (maintenance and guide pay, plus tips). Also there is an additional charge for photography and video.
Which isn't expensive anyway ( around 2 USD) so it was worth paying it.
After checking the nearby areas, we meet the guide that was going to explain all the stuff to us. He did show some of the machinery, the meaning of the warnings, the sound system, the hours , syndicates and general history.
(continuing in part 7 as its photo heavy)

Part of it was having to be on oral steroids as a kid so much.
Part of it is genetics, having inherited weak ankles from my mom's side.
And part of it is just I am very clutzy.

I'm right there with ya. I once knocked myself out by turning around and walking face first into a concrete column with my first step.
