Bottled

Some bottled things, would look nice in the living room isnt it? or kitchne? where would you put something like this?



I might even tell you where to find them.

Well I will do it anyway. in Tonalá Mexico.

Monarch Butterfly - Morelia

This are some of the views that you can find if you go to the "El Rosario" Santuary, in Morelia Mexico.
It was a really nice experience. From where I was living it is about 600Km, and I remember that I was kind of  "complaining" about that we should have stayed overnight to sleep closer to the Santuary. We spend the night at Morelia that it is 300Km away but it was, still a 5hour drive.

The next day, we drove really early to be there as early in the morning as possible. The moment we reach this place, I was just Amazed!!! every single Kilometer that we drove. and every single penny that we spend on this trip was worth 1000x times.






I was expecting to see a couple of Thousands, however, I am not exagerating by saying we saw a couple of millions.

Really, there are millions of butterflies flying around and lying on the trees. This is something that I would really recommend to everyone who stays in Morelia.

Flaming Moe

 No, this is not a Flaming Moe. In fact I even forgot the name of this beverage.
For those who saw the previous post from "EL POMAR"... No... It is also not how the sidra looks like. It is just a beverage that we found on our little trip to the beach.. In fact when I order it. I asked the waiter...
"What is that THING that is being served over that table..... Well I want one as well"
It is sort of coffe with a liquour what was amazing of it. is not how it looks like but the Show they make for serving it.



Pictures of the show. are not really good. It was hard to catch the flaming liquour while jumping in the air from one cup to the other. I will need to practice a litte bit more on those kind of environments, (Flames, movement, dark restaurant)

Cheers.

El Pomar Tradition

Every year, since about (unknown) number of years. Me and my friends get together to celebrate friendship. We have had several discussions on when does this tradition started. some of them say about 15years ago some of them say 20 or 22. but the only thing tha I am sure is that it was loooong time ago. We are all about early 30ies. Therefore 20 years is like 2/3rds of our lives.



This tradition started once that we had a get together and we requested to bring some "sidra". Somehow.. everyone brought the same bottle... maybe it was a destiny sing, or maybe it is just that it was the cheapest one on the store... no one remembers. but ever since... we get together and it is a MUST to bring this bottle.
It is called "EL POMAR" and therefore that is the name of our friendship tradition.

I must say that now a days, it is not the cheapes, and sometimes the hardest to find.. maybe because it is neither famous and expensive nor cheap and unknown. it is just in the middle and it might be that sores does not buy for some years this type of bottle. but so far we have managed to find at least 12 (one for each + some spare).

And well as you can immagine, it is a MUST that every one needs to drinks its own bottle. ( completely ).
This sidra is soft so it is no problem to drink it in an hour and not being drunk or anything. I really appreciate this tradicion and because I am not living in my home town anymore since 7 years ago I must confess that I have missed at least 3 of them.. However it has allways been at least 3 on the celebration(on rough times). As long as there is at least two  man standing the tradition will not die. and I will do my best to be o every single one. no matter where It is going to happen next.

New Year 2013

 I wish to everyone a very happy new year 2013, unfortunately last year I was not able to follow the pictures day by day, and therefore this year as one of the resolutions that I have is to finish this project this year. It isnot good to start something and let it un finished. It is allways better to be a "Finisher" than a "Starter".




To tell the truth, I am again delayed but I will catch up. and get 365 pictures by the end of the year. By the way, I am now using a software to organize my pictures so I hope that this might help on keeping track of the pictures while puting some order to my photo folders and some how to my life hahah.. I know there are some other things I need to solve this year. but at least I will try to use the technology on the things that technology can help.

For every thing else... I am on my own.

Happy New Year.

Best Regards
Ruben
