Hey you two,
Not sure if you've noticed but back in Canada there's been a lot of discussion about the safety of travel in Mexico. Two Italian families from Ontario have experienced the loss of their loved ones (one couple from Woodbridge were murdered and in recent weeks a 19-year-old died but nobody is quite why or how). There's been a lot of talk about the
safety issues in Mexico and the authorities' alleged penchant for covering up stuff or lying about it. It would be a good idea to pitch some articles to some of the national dailies or something like that about your adventures and the safety, or lack of it, of traveling in Mexico.
Cheers,
Don Fiorvento

GENERATOR URGENTLY NEEDED
I am looking for a small generator for my Mexican amigo's ranch. He needs one desperately to provide water from his well for his cattle and horses. If you hear of one please let me know.

Entertainment Review
Singer Roberto Curiel  Playing this Friday Night at Hinde and Jaime
Singer Roberto Curiel belted out Mexican favorites at Hinde and Jaimes last evening to a small crowd of mostly Mexican patrons. Too Bad. Roberto Curiel provided solid entertainment value for the evening and amazed and delighted the audience with his tunes.
Jaltemba Express Editor Dorothy Bell was on location for the début performance and was thrilled that “a musician of this calibre is playing in La Peñita in such a small venue. We have traveled throughout Mexico and can honestly say that a performer of Roberto Curiel’s stature is usually playing in Guadalajara or Mexico City in a much larger venue.”
He is a NOT TO BE MISSED entertainer that you will always remember.

Feast of San Antonio Abad
Día de San Antonio Abad
January 17th
This is a religious holiday celebrated in Mexico to honor the patron Saint Anthony. Animals are allowed in the churches throughout the country for this day for blessings. Often the worshipers bring livestock as well as pets.
In some communities after the church services, a feast is held for the congregation and visitors. Festivities often include competitions, sports activities and of course - fireworks.
About Saint Anthony
St. Anthony the Abbott, (San Antonio Abad) was born in Egypt in 251 to a wealthy family. His parents died when he was twenty and left him in the care of his older unmarried sister. He decided to follow the teachings of Jesus who said (Matthew 19:21) "If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasures in heaven; and come, follow Me." and in 285 gave his wealth to the poor, put his sister in an early nunnery and decided to live in complete solitude.
San Antonio lived as a hermit in solitude in the desert. Legend has it that the devil fought Anthony regularly with boredom, phantoms of women and laziness. He o vercame these through prayer and then moved to a tomb where he locked the door on himself for complete solitude. The devil, envious of his intense worship, beat him unconscious. After he recovered he again moved to the desert; this time to a mountain by the Nile. He lived in an abandoned Roman fort for twenty years but did not escape the continued warring of the devil against him this time with visions of wild beasts, snakes, scorpions and lions. San Antonio said "If any of you have any authority over me, only one would have been sufficient to fight me." and the visions ceased. God gave victory over the devil to San Anthony.
The emerged healthy, serene, and enlightened. Through his battles with the devil, advice and the serene and enlightened demeanor, his reputation grew. He began to have a following and Emperor Constantine wrote and asked for his blessing.
San Antonio lived to be 105 and is the subject of many paintings.
He is the patron Saint for animals, amputees, basket makers and weavers, butchers, cemetery workers, domestic animals, eczema, epileptics, erogoyism, hermits, hogs, monks, skin disease and a host of other interesting occupations and illnesses.
He is represented with a crutch, and is often portrayed with a bell on the end of a cross. Pigs are often at his side.
