bobJuan & Catalina Visit Mexico
for Rodrigo & Valareia Wedding
Rodrigo & Valeria were married in Rocky Point (Puerto Penasco) on the 15th of June 2002. Larry (el Jeffe), Carri, Cathy and I were most honored to be invited to attend the celebration. Below are some of our favorite photos of the weekend. As you can see, there is such wonderful colors, scenery and beautiful people there!
The Day Before - On The Malecon
The malecon is a long, paved, popular walkway along the seashore where everyone and anyone can go "cruisin’" on foot. Chinos (one of my favorite Spanish-teachers) told me when I first asked, "it's a place where there's "business" on one side, and the ocean on the other".
Cathy and I were lucky enough to take Friday off, so we headed down to the Malecon that afternoon for some "Aqui Es Con Flavio" time, and a walk along the waterway. It was a gorgeous nite as you can see from these photos.

Pre-Reception Refreshments
