Welcome Jackie and Bill
Humberto

Are you planning to come to Guadalajara?

Humberto

Hello, Robsons:

Thanks for volunteering to help us! There could be a real buzz of activity here early next year if we manage to get some projects funded. One possibility is setting up a nursery to supply one million trees to CONAFOR. Construction of our hospedaje, centro de equitación, bungalos, cabañas, or astronomical observatory could also get underway. We'd really like to be able to use your talents on any of the activities related to those projects or the general tasks of the farm.

Things could also continue to move as slowly as they have been, which could be a bit limiting, but there are some interesting alternatives that we could present to you if it became necessary.

Your visit may also coincide with the stay of one of you BC neighbors from Williams Lake. She is looking for property in our region to establish a ranch. Her name is Hennie van Nieuwburg and you will find among the WWOOF Mexico members.

Regards,

Steve and Regina

Hola Jackie and Bill:
¿Aproximadamente en que fecha de enero piensan estar por aquí en San Pancho y por cuanto tiempo?Esto es importante saberlo para poder ver la posibilidad de que estén con nosotros.
Un abrazo
Yuri.

Jackie and Bill,

We are looking forward to your arrival following the appearance of a good renter for your house. At the moment we are a bit tied up with activities and travel but we will send you an email introducing ourselves better as well as more about what you can expect at Rancho Jixhil.

Saludos,

Steve and Regina

Jackie y Bill:
Sería un problema para Uds. traer tienda de campaña para poder acampar aquí?
El problema es que nos llega familia de España en esas mismas fechas y el Cool Bus que está destinado para recibirles estará ocupado.
Yuri.

Hi Jackie,

The change of seasons has begun. Saturday and Sunday were cool and windy and beautifully clear. I was wearing a long sleeved shirt because of the wind but got quite warm with outdoor activity in the forest in the afternoon. When the wind died down in the evening our chimenea made it comfortable to sit on the open porch in shirtsleeves.

The month with the coldest weather here seems to be November, when it can be rainy and cool for several days. It creates a damp, penetrating cold. An early morning frost may occur once or twice around late November.

December is the true start of the dry season and daytime temperatures warm up a bit (typically lower 60s F) with nighttime lows still a bit low due to the dry air (maybe into the upper 40s). A windbreaker is all I ever put on over my shirt. Regina will wear a sweater.

From January on, the temperatures slowly increase until April, when daytime highs may get to the mid 80s. When rainy season begins in May the moist air begins to moderate the temperature, lowering the daytime highs to the 70s and raising the nightime lows to the low 60s.

Thanks for your offer to bring something. Regina's bag of clover seed got confiscated at customs on Friday. Do you suppose you might have better luck?

We have brought used clothing down several times and they always appreciate the items. Jackets are particularly welcome because they are a seasonal item people usually just do without. The most needed item would be durable shoes for men women and children. Almost anything would be better than the thin plastic jellies and flip flops they often wear.

Regards,

Steve Pike
