Make Do and Improvise

Make Do and improvise the motto of today’s excursion to Mexico. Clark and I took Paula’s sledge to Mexico. We swam across, to collect clay.  We still haven’t learnt. Ziploc bags are possibly the worst thing to collect clay in but there the only thing we have at hand so I guess we had to make do. Four Ziploc bags of clay from Mexico and four from Texas. With no way of carrying them back we floated them down the Rio Grande. We still have to figure out a way of transporting the clay back to Albuquerque in these shitty Ziploc bags. We didn’t think this one through.
