busy day today with 3 loads of laundry - thank goodness armando delivered 4,000 liters of water. he just joined the 2 due us and the 2 due the Copa Cabana and voila. we got a lot of water and i did a looooooooooooooooooot of laundry forma ll the guests at the copa and here this past week.  he says the water plant hose is broken. if it aint one thing - its another.

pancho came for dinner tonight and he will meet us in punta chivato to bring back any donations we have plus the 5 bikes !! yahoooooooooo !!  the pics of the swap meet look fantastic, i will take stuff to donate to the sale, I will bake a cake for the bake sale and lastly, I will meet mulege michael and his wife to deliver some toys since he does a santa delivery every year. i would not even start that project !!!  he says that some kids never got their gift since there were more kids than gifts. i would cry. no way am i going to go down that road but i praise him for dressing up as santa and handing out hundreds of gifts !! and I will support him by donating the stuffed animals that we have.

mike from meg and mike stopped by this afternoon for a beer. he has been busy unloading and organizing their house. he is here for 2 weeks. nice vacation !!

juanchys also stopped by for a quick visit. didnt stay for dinner, but he should have cause it was excellent.

so Les bought me the tape recorder so I can continue the history of la bocana project. i will interview all the old folks to find out what they remember fromt he good ole days. actually, i think they prefer the way bocana is now - life is certainly easier, but i want to catalog their experiences. thanks Les !!
