we went to Vizcaino for the bike race today ... it was nice and sunny but not too hot, due to a cool breeze all day long.  the way the boys went was long and really steep in places. there were bikes and bodies falling right and left. like i told some of the families, if there is no challenge, then the bikers wont enjoy it.  boring .

well, bocana beach bikers won 3 first places !!!

chueys son won. and i am so pleased about that !!  he didnt show up which was a shame. really a shame.
irmas son won and i am soooooooooooooooo happy about that !!!  she went :)))))) and so did her sister !!

and Cristian won - second time !!!

and the last one was Chino - a little shtunk  of a kid who just tears that road up. he rides his bike with the wind at his back and o a mission to WIN.  they called his dad and he may even buy his son a special bike so that he can get even better results.

Leo had a bad fall right at the beginning. Got the bike put together and sent him on but he must have crashed, the bike got irreparably bent.    i wd really rather not borrow bikes any more.

the one who sould also have gottem first place but someone stuck rocks int he middle of the way and he was in front and got all messed up with the route was Nacho. I am really not sure how this happened.  they did the route yesterday ?????  bizarre and horrible. the worst was that he was disqualified because he threw a hissy fit.  he slammed the helmet on the ground in fornt of everyone and ran to the side in tears.  Not good sportsmanship  altho at the time, none of us understood that he had been somehow set up to lose and crash ... who put rocks along the route ?????????????????????  all the others went around, so they knew how to go .... strange things ahappening .....

the new house is really coming along fast - Les removed the old door to one of the bedrooms so we can increase the size of the bathroom so as to fit a sink (original idea was to have 2 sinks in each bedroom, which I HATED) ... then he put the sink and toilet in place (not bolted but places) and one of the new tiles Bruce just put in chipped on the edge .. there's a redo ... The bathroom will also house the fish designer tiles we originally bought for upstairs at our house and then decided to do dolphins instead. The tiles are gorgeous. The bathroom will be stunning.

San Ignacio clothes so we can have samples

There is a lot of sand flying by that house - Les says it is due to the road and the fact that all Mexicans remove all the plants even from empty lots. They hate the plants. So bizarre since these desert plants will NOT let sand fly and will NOT let trash go by them either.

The bikers were supposed to be here at 5. Last minute meeting and obviously manana is the word of the day !!  I want to meet with them and see how we can have San Diego help us with prizes ...as always ... exciting times for La Bocana :))))  Here they come - half an hour late is not really late ...is it ??????????????

2 brothers ....

Nacho has a great head on his shoulders and is not afraid of work at all....bring it  on !!
