Rescate Grand Bazaar






Yesterday was a complete surprise. We went to another Rescate fundraiser thinking it was a bake sale type of event. It was that and more as there were handicraft booths, art work booths and many others.

The highlight of the day was the dancers from the Cultural Middle School. These students danced for more than an hour and were terrific. The dancing is unique to Sonora and its neighbouring states of Chihuahua and Sinaloa, but there are many similarities to the dances of the Yucatan and the rest of Mexico. The Chihuahua dances had a definite western flair.

We had a wonderful day and so did the large crowd as was displayed in the standing ovation for the young dancers.

Ed and Joan to Playa yesterday. They are going to stay in the "hut" village that we walked to that one day for our cervasas.

Hope all is going well for Robbie.

Looks like a great fundraiser. When is the Chili Cookoff? Are you mixing up batches of your delicious chili and entering the contest???

The chili cookoff is March 2nd and I am still thinking about it. I suspect I will be too much of a chicken to enter the competition though.
