It has been busy here between Christmas and New Years Eve. I will post pictures of our busy week. We also attended a Polo Match, at Carayas, Jalisco. First time polo experience for either of us. Pictures are out of order, but you get the idea.

The polo grounds were beautiful, addition was free and we were allowed to bring appetizers and our own wine and beer.

At 1/2 time we were asked to get some exercise and also stomp down divots the horses make in the playing field. All in All we had a great time with a nice group of friends.

New Years eve started out with a really nice pot luck dinner. There were about 60 people there for the dinner at La Playa Trailer park and Campground.

Followed by a bonfire on the beach.

And of course sending off some globos.

And amigos drinking tequila.

And dancing in the sand, OH Boy is that difficult.

And at midnight there were fireworks all around us.

CHRISTMAS EVE AND CHRISTMAS DAY

We had a very nice pot luck dinner and gift exchange with our neighbors at Boca Beach Campground, La Manzanilla. Then we went to Melaque, to help with the gift bag distribution. Kids were waiting at the gate of the campground early in the morning. One picture says a thousand words. You can see smiling faces and also notice poverty. We made a lot of kids happy.

We spent Christmas Eve with friend at our campground. Drinks, pot luck appetizers Etc.

Kids lined up early waiting for the gate to open.

They are ready.

Belinda, Pricilla and Glenn, Pricilla and  Glenn work hard organizing this event. All of the others at La Playa Campground all pull together to do such a great thing for the community. OH, did I mention that Belinda and I used to be residents  of  La Playa Campground. They invite us back for this event, Thank You
