Ayutla

Once again we arrived late into town and almost missed the welcoming party. But the town officials and past friends were there to welcome us with a mariachi band , food and drink. It was nice to see everyone, we had a very short time to hang out with them knowing we were leaving for Autlan the next day. We dropped the bus off Rick brought and gave them lots of handicap equipment and other supplies. We stayed in the hotel in the middle of town and it took every room they had to house us.  There is not much to say, everything went fine and everything worked fine. In the short time we were here we were able to go a few schools and drop off books that Ron and Mike brought down with them to give out. Mike had received a number of cases of Spanish-English dictionaries.

The hotel in Ayutla where we stay. There are 18 rooms, 14 with bathrooms.  The other four share a community bathroom. It's very old but very clean and they are very proud of it.


The ambulance that went to Barra Navidad gets blessed.


The ambulance was full of donated medical gear.
