Just a typical day in Mexico :)

The last few days have been so interesting. We are really getting a taste for what it means to live in Mexico. Yesterday morning we had the most awful smell in our house after I fixed breakfast. It took several minutes before we saw black smoke pouring out of our laundry room. When we opened the door we saw that our tankless water heater had exploded in flames! Thankfully Nathan was back from Costa Rica or I would not have known what to do. He turned off the gas and put the fire out with a damp towel.

Today the men came to replace our water heater. After the water heater was in place they turned it on to check it. Something was not connected correctly because water was spraying all over the ceiling. They got that mess cleaned up and finished what they could with out the piece they were missing. The men will return tomorrow to finish but they didn't tell us that they did not connect the water line to anything. Nathan turned on the bath for Davin and I heard running water coming out of the laundry room. That room is now flooded! again! The men are supposed to return in the morning (always maƱana) so hopefully they will get it right this time and we can have hot baths tomorrow. :) Just a small sample of life in Mexico. From what I hear this is pretty typical.
