Mazatlan's baseball team

Image
The past two evenings have been pretty noisey here on the malecon. Night before last, about sunset, the horns began to honk and flags were flying out windows of cars, pulmonias, etc. with lots of yelling and screaming in pure exhalation! Turns out the Venados (Deer), Mazatlan's baseball team, won their game against Los Mochis (a town about 2 hours north of Maz) which makes them the champions of the Mexican Pacific League. This puts them in the Caribbean Series which starts next month. Their first games of the series will be February 2nd against Venezuela and Puerto Rico in Mexicali, Baja, California. Here is a link to more information on the Series. http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/events/winterleagues/?league=cs Everyone was sooooooo excited and the horn honking went on way past midnight. Then, last evening we had a parade that started down the malecon just after sunset to honor the Venados. Here's a short video clip of part of the parade. It's kind of dark but if you increase yo...

Tres Islas Orphanage Fund

Many of you have asked us how you can help the orphaned children here in Mazatlan. We have recently found a wonderful organization that is working to support the orphans in four orphanages here in Mazatlan. We have met with the founders and are very impressed with how they are handling this task. The fund provides nourishing food, medical and educational needs, shoes, clothes and other supplies as needed for the children. We have included their website in this posting. It will give you a history of the Tres Islas Orphanage Fund and a printable donation form. In April, we plan to take a tour that this organization has planned of all four orphanages. We hope this information will be helpful in your desire to help the children of Mazatlan. Below is a list of the Mazatlan orphanages the fund supports: Orfanatorio Mazatlan (this is the orphanage we are working with) Salvation Army Children’s Home Hogar San Pablo Ciudad de los Ninos http://www.orphanagefunds.org/default.htm

My 63rd Birthday!

I had a wonderful 63rd birthday thanks to my husband.  We went to "Twigs Bistro & Martini Bar" for dinner after he let me open my presents after work.  He surprised me with a new microwave, spatulas, cutting board & chip clips.  I thought perhaps there was a theme with these gifts but there wasn't.  Very nice gifts but where was the little box?  Finally, it surfaced and he had gotten me some beautiful diamond earrings. :)  He is such a wonderful, wonderful husband who is the love of my life.  Then, we headed out to the bistro and who came to dinner with us but Scott & Deannie!!  It was such a nice surprise when they came walking in.  Deannie & I had salmon.  Greg had enchiladas and Scott I think a burrito.  Food was delicious!!   Had to try the martinis.  Greg had a Key Lime and I had the Mucho Mango.  They were so very yummy.  Just a great birthday with lots of birthday wish phone cal...
