Hola amigos!
I have been hard at work on my project. So far Ive gone to a bunch of Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, made some great contacts, had a few interviews. This afternoon I am going to the jail with a big group of the members because there is an AA group there. I am not exactly sure what we will be doing but I think it will be a great experience. Fieldwork is hard work, and I am realizing how much harder it is when people cannot totally understand you and you cannot totally understand others. The language barrier is a bit frustrating, especially during the interviews but I am doing the best that I can.
Last sunday I was very sick. I had a stomach thing like Ive never had a stomach thing. It took a bit of time to feel good but now I am pretty much 100%.
Yesterday the family and I all woke up by 430am and went to Merida for my little sisters Baptism. it happened after the mass. it was a nice ceremony from what I can tell. Rodrigo took Justin and I to the governmental palace near the church to see a beautiful art display of Yucatecan artists.
Time for an interview! This day is quite tiring!
i will write more later
