This was our first "official" day in Mazatlan.We walked down the street to the meeting of several of the Rotary Clubs of Mazatlan.For many of us, it was a chance to meet with old friends.There were several speeches- but the central discussion was one of partnership, friendship, Rotary and helping our communities wherever they may be. Suzanna Perez, the mother of our former exchange student Paulina came for breakfast.It was nice to see her again. After...

Allan did a great job and we were away from the US in record time with our papers stampe...

We apologize for not updating the blog sooner, but the head blogger has been down with food poisoning- but he is back. So we left Beaver and got about 1 km when the propane in one of the buses froze and needed some tender loving care. So the rest of us proceeded to Cedar City Utah to find a muffler shop to get ...
