2026 Went by In a Flash

 

2026 started off well.

              

Joe, my first guest ever from Canada arrived within a few days of New Year's.   We're just resting a bit after a swim at Chahue and a frisbee toss.


More swimming in the coral area of the mini beaches and then a steep climb up a trail where we passed the ruins of an old club from the early days of Huatulco. 


That is one big cactus.


Joe, Ulises and Fernando, my travelling companions this year for 

Aniversario de la Titulacion del Pueblo de Huatulco Caminata Tradicional 2026 .  There was some debate about whether or not to push on after reaching Piedra de Moros but here we are near the end of our journey.  We're tougher than we look.

Culture Week Christmas Parade UMAR 2025

Woohoo!  It's that time of year again.  This year things are just a bit different as our annual Christmas parade here at UMAR Huatulco shifts direction.  







This year our Christmas parade is the grand finale of Culture Week and we move in the opposite direction to previous years.  We start at Parque Rufino Tamayo downtown and make our merry way back to campus and hold student performances in our Multi Use auditorium/gym.
























We have all the fun as before and everyone is ready for a long winter's nap in good time.




























Some people got a little tired en route but our escort saved the day and they made it back to campus in style.



Good times

















































We're on the home stretch now.




















Here we are, back at campus, our finish line.  We're all only slightly tired.  Thanks to everyone who participated in our new traditon.  Let's do it again next year!  Merry Christmas, everyone!
