New Mexico!

Sorry team that I have not been blogging a lot. I am with my family. The people here don't use electronics unless  they have to. I am visiting my family in the Navajo reservation!! This environment is very different than what I am used to. The people on the reservation are very old fashion. They give you firm hand shakes and say hello in Navajo and the introduce them selfs to see how they are related to you. The kids are very out doors. JD is getting used to being in the sun all day. And the kids have chores to do. My aunties and uncles are very strict. My cousins know better that to disobey. I realized than my family on the Rez is a huge military family and work with in the law enforcement. There is not much electricity in their houses as I cook out side like we were camping. Living on the Rez is a a hard life. There is no fast food and water is your best friend!! The kids that train for sports here don't have the luxury as we do. I don't run on a track I run on dirt road early in the morning when it's not as hot. They have no AC and the kids don't compline that its hot and the gym is not in good condition. But the one thing I like is that the community works together! I am training like karate kid. I am doing my forms in the sand. And doing house stances as low as the fence. I am working hard every day doing chores and black veld training. T-Berg out!!
