First morning in Cartajima!
A portrait of El Refugio in the natural daylight.
bleach the white plaster walls and a neighbor’s potted plants.
The village is endearing with its whitewashed buildings and quaint old world charm.
The weather is beautiful, and soon the bouncing sun scorches everything in sight.
With a few cubes of ice, El Refugio’s local wine list appears,
and some very interesting conversations and antics ensue.
Taking turns with the disco wig. It really gets around.
Round 1! Fight!
Arm-wresting! People still do that? Yes they do.
As the sun sinks, the local birds hunting for dinner are replaced with bats,
and our activities mutate as well. Botz and Fernando stage a lucha – arm wrestling!
Fernando prevailed with his shining right arm…
Round 2! Fight!
…but Botz was unstoppable with his left arm in the rematch.
The importance of good sportsmanship is displayed
as the gentlemen shake hands after the match.
Botz’ tan is as dark as the terrace tiles!
No evening with new friends would be complete without
a bit of dancing to a broad mix of…funk?
