well, i got a translation to do at about 6pm - 15 pages - so i worked on that til about 11:30.  finished it !!  fun fun fun and i love the feeling of being DONE. satisfaction

today we heard that Lily's dad died yesterday.  the funeral is this afternoon, so we will be heading to punta abreojos this afternoon at 5. Pancho will be having lunch with us at 3:30. Les made bigos and naother Polish dish. enough food for a lot of people.

there are some grindos in town but we havent met them. i think they must be staying at joaquin's house ??? i saw them drive by going to bocanita yesterday. surfers ?  their vehicles were packed

i sure hope someone helps bring the bikes from ensenada and san diego to bocana. i want punta abreojos to start their team and get riding so they can participate next time.

UPDATE AT 10 pm
 we went to the funeral. a lot of people. they had little kids there, it is great that they see what life and death are about

it is the custom for everyone toput a little bit of sand over the coffin

in PA, they put concrete over the coffin and they m ake the concrete then and there.

Pancho never made it to lunch -  he was in Abreojos in solidarity and gave us a call

we visited Ed in PA for a minute and invited him tolunch. he is going to contact Mark, a friend of his who is building in La Baliza. Mark is coming from Lake Tahoe and may be able to bring a bike

i know the timing was not the best, but after the funeral, i took a moment and asked Martin to bring the bikes from Ensenada on their coop truck and he said yes. I will call Ivan and have him take the bikes tomorrow.
