Yo apoyo el uso del casco


There does seem to be something in the air about helmets in our little town of Crucecita. Little more than a week after buying mine, a student approached me at school to join a helmet awareness ride on Sunday.

We all met in front of the cathedral by the zocalo to ride together to Tangolunda. Everyone was given T-shirts and stickers that read "Yo apoyo el uso del casco". It was a blast, all of us driving around 15 km together in a pack.




Everyone arrived safely to Tangolunda where the big hotel, Dreams Huatulco, had a little lunch set up. I had to stop using the camera for the descent to keep both hands on the brakes. It's all about safety.

There was a good turnout for an event that started so early on a Sunday morning. At the end of the ride, there was a safety demonstration with some very bad acting and an ambulance and a pylon ride with T-shirts. Fun times.





A few UMAR students were there. Not too surprising. They are everywhere.


Silva says "Wear a helmet."
