Dec 5, 09 hoy por la noche - platicas

i loved this afternoon's presentations .... different people talking .... almost no one showed up tho..it was saddddddddddddddddddddd

the guys were disappointed that the coop in Punta Abreojos did NOT come - this ismainly for them and their coop actually did cooperate to make the project come to life:

runiing for governor in another life

asking them for porta potty connections...really !!

This is Jordan Bailey with Philanthropiece. His boss knew about this presentation and I didn't even know ... Her name is Katie and I will contact her. They are microlenders ...  very cool

Linda, far right in pink...too many empty seats

Franky - president of the coop P Abreojos

this is Gustavo with Scripps Institute of Oceanography

she did a great job and i want her to come to la bocana separately....too  much valuable information. it got lost among too many presenters

she is clear

she spole slowly

her slides were fantastic

very funny guy - he kept wanting to speak to me in Spanish and he is American, so I wanted to speak English ... kind of reminded me of Les who, in Europe, asked people if they spoke English and then proceeded to speak to them in Spanish !!! It was sooo funny !!!

Baja Expeditions has been around for 35 years and they are doing some amazing things .....

Reyna and I

you give them an amazing trip

                                          they make huge donations

Blanca likes the idea a lottttttttttttttttttttttttt
