There were two windows, one to the front and one to the side yard. There was no indoor plumbing and the town did not have electricity, so when the sun went down they lit the petroleum lamps. The two year old boy used the bucket frequently and it was taken into the family bedroom at night. The next morning we took a walk around Willie. It is a sawmill, ranching and farming town of about 300 families, at 8000 feet elevation.
Most houses are adobe with sheds and barns made of scrap wood from the sawmill.
We wanted to see the sawmill in action but the rain kept the trucks from bringing in the logs. The sun was coming out as we returned to the house, so things were looking up for us to continue our journey. The adults had breakfast alone since the kids had gone to school. We did the dishes this time since we had watched Chela twice before and now knew the process of heating water and using buckets. While washing the dishes we noticed Hector, Chela's husband, and the town mechanic putting the transmission back in an old Chevy pickup.
