Huge day in La Bocana

first communion for a lot of kids ... little prince's and princess's around

inauguration of the baseball season in honor of Panchon - he got an award and certificates ... and lots of applause. i learned that one game he made 3 homeruns. and at his last game, at age 33, he made 2 homeruns. he definitely put la bocana baseball on the map

i met the presidents of the municipality and the boys handed him his letter requesting a vehicle for the team. all the boys signed and all the parents signed as well.  at the end of the second game (la bocana lost the first and the second is on right now), the boys will be given their bike awards so that all of la bocana can see them shine.  it was thought that this was as good a time as any...tons of people and they will all see what the boys have achieved. (didn't happen. I think Guero forgot, but the kids gave the president the letter asking for a bike club van)

Guero is the MC, so it is all good.  Enrique is taking Les's letter to the States to mail - we still havent gotten his meds ... third time his doctor messes up the process. Les was smart and asked for a copy of the prescription or we would be up a tree for the third time.  as it stands, he will mail it off for us and we have to wait for the meds to arrive. late, but at least they will arrive :)

on a sad note - there are NO trashcans at the stadium. not a one. isn't that just peechy keen ?  honestly, what planet is everyone on ?  the stadium is the last spot before the beach. any trash, with wind, ends up right in the ocean.  take a guess where i will be tomorrow ................. yep, you guessed right !!

and , i have no idea where i put the camera. i took a million photos yesterday. i have no idea where i put it.

FOUND THE CAMERA - IT HAD FALLEN BETWEEN THE SEATS OF THE TRUCK :))))))
