We were invited by a friend to visit Mazunte's Turtle Museo. It was a Christmas Gift for Angel.

We had a really nice time. 

Although, Angel thought the turtles looked sad and we both agreed they need more rocks and shells and green plants in their habitats.

 I hope that they can get some funding for it and help the turtles be happier :D  I told Angel we are just really used to the Vancouver Aquarium and how beautiful the habitats are.

 I also told her and she knows herself, that it costs an millions of dollar to do create and maintain those habitats.  They don't have that kind of money here obviously but I hope they can get it somehow!!

For 3 people to visit the Mazunte Turtle Museo it was $87 pesos, in Canada for just Angel and I to visit it is $50. That's like 5x more to visit the Vancouver Aquarium.  But there is a lot more to see and do there .

Still I hope funding comes from somewhere to help spruce up the tanks and make it a little more cheery for the poor turtles who just swim around all day while people take their photos and look at them.

If you read this please mention it to someone who may be able to help. Thanks! :D

There's a lot of action in Zipolite right now. Lots of people, many many artisans in the street selling their beautiful work. Really amazing jewelry, t-shirts, lots of things. Last night we were entertained by these performers. I'm sorry I don't know their names but if you do, please contact me. Gracias.

End Of Year and New Year`s Celebration

Dear friends ,

We would like to invite you to share with us the end of the year and the entrance of the new year. Our celebration consists of a ceremony to Clean Our Spirits ;

Our true being is a pure spirit and this night we will try to give total expression to our humanity, united in Love and Peace.

This is an offering to God: the divine Intelligence.

We have chosen the essence of each philosophy and religion of the World.

Because each of them has its own truth that we respect.

The symbol of our soul is the flower, and we bring it to the fire with all the negativity that we have inside of us in the form of the tree of life that we will construct during celebration.

Namaste
 Celebracion de fin de Ano y Ano Nuevo

Queridos Amigos,

Les queremos invitar a pasar con nosotros la terminacion de este ano y la entrada del Nuevo Ano.

Nuestra celebracion consta de una ceremonia de Limpia Espiritual.

Nuestro verdadero ser es un espiritu puro y en esta noche tratamos de dar su expresion total en una hermandad, unidos en Amor y Paz.

Esta es una ofrenda a DIOS : La Intelligencia Divina.

Hemos elegido la esencia de cada filosofia y religion del mundo, pues cada una de ellas tiene su verdad la cual respetamos.

El simbolo de Nuestra Alma es una flor y la entregamos al fuego con todo lo negativo que llevamos dentro en forma de arbol de la vida que construiremos en la celebracion.

Namaste
