The last time I posted I mentioned that one of our neighbors, Beto is a candidate for Rey Feo (ugly king) for Carnaval this year. We have been watching the site where you can vote and we have of course cast our votes for him. Yesterday he was ahead and this morning he is slightly behind.
I am hoping that some of you who read this blog will go over to the site, Guaymas Carnaval Blog and vote for him. The voting poll is on the right hand bar and all you have to do is click in the little circle beside his name: Jesús Alberto Acosta Langure /PLATA
We are really hoping that he can win, he is a great young man and would make a wonderful Rey Feo.
The street on the north side of our apartment had a perpetual water leak, and it just never seemed to get fixed. Tropical Storm Jimena also gouged out a ravine on one side of it that hadn't been repaired either. The ravine didn't matter to us; but it was beginning to collect lots of garbage in it that was unsightly. Our landlady enlisted the help of her brother, he managed to get some action from the city and the other day the water company (CEA) appeared. They dug up a deep trench, put in new water pipes and then filled in the trench again. All the digging and filling also filled in the storm gouged ravine so all is repaired. Yah, Pancho.
Men on the job.
Young Diego and our landlady watching the action. Diego of course loved the machine.
