the adventures of dos tortas

This week there have been fires burning all around us. There were black clouds billowing from the landfill across the laguna.

Farmers have used controlled fires to clear fields for centuries in Mexico. When you drive through the Yucatán you see where gasoline has been poured along the sides of the road to clear overgrowth. With the drought we’re having it’s a wonder there’s any jungle left.

With my asthma, we closed up the house yesterday and stayed indoors. It was another layer of quarantine.
