Life here isn’t always beer and tacos—some days we have to get dressed up and try to behave ourselves for a few hours.  Once such event, was two weeks ago when all the Rotary Clubs in the city held a formal dinner for the annual changing of the “board of directors” for each Rotary Club. 

Things were supposed to start at 8.30pm (punto) with the marching band/honors to the flag scheduled for 9.00pm.  We were running late and arrived right on time at 8.30—only to discover that we were still amongst the first ones there (we’ll never get the timing thing right..)

Fortunately, the speeches were short and the food and music were quite good—so we enjoyed the evening.  Of course all the newspapers were there and once again we ended up it one of them.
