School delayed OTRA VEZ

After rushing back to Mexico from the States to make it to class before the scheduled reopening of May 6th, I come to find out that school cancellation has been extended for yet another 5 days until the following Monday, May 11th. I'll take it, I think. Marlies and I, slightly peeved at our nonessential relocation, decide to head for the beach to make the most of it. The closest beach to Pachuca is a small town on the coast of Verzcruz called Tecolutla. We packed up Homer and Nolita and were on our way. A trip meant to last 3 days was extended to 6 after the reciept of this text message from the Mexican government... Hidalgo continua en alerta epidemiologica. REGRESO A CLASES 18 MAYO. Sigue las medidas de prevencion. Permanece en casa: Gob del Estado. Which basically translates to: Hidalgo continues with the epidemic alert. RETURN TO CLASSES MAY 18TH. Continue with prevention measures. Remain in your houses. Government of the state. Fortunately, Marlies and I were thoroughly enjoying our beach vacay so the additional extension was not completely unwelcome... that is unless we have to extend classes into the summer. hmmmm. Details on la playa muy pronto.
