MORDIDAS UPDATE:
Things had been moving slowly because we could not get the signature of the colonia president on our neighborhood petition. All of the neighbors signed but the colonia president refused. I've been silent about this, even tho it's pretty funny, because I didn't want to get things stirred up with the government.
The colonia president was telling people that she would not sign because she thought that we were opening a whorehouse.
Hmmm, I thought. Maybe we should. Sarah disagreed.
We were at a standstill. Nothing could proceed without this signature so our "assistant" in this effort went to city hall (the new one where the working government employees are) and asked what we could do. The person in charge of this issue said that she would come out to talk to us and the president and make her sign.
Today she actually came out and made the president sign our petition. The big fear of the president now is that our customers might piss on the metal walk bridge over the River Cuale in front of our house.
So don't pee on the bridge or we will get into trouble.
I guess I'm no longer opening a whore house.
Now we just have to be inspected by the ecology (health) department and we're about finished.
