Greetings 545 San Pancho Newsletter Readers,
Welcome to this weeks newsletter. We have lots of information and new contributors. Thank you for contacting me and helping get the news out to the village of San Pancho.
I attended the first Polo Match at La Patrona and had a chance to talk with the players. What a wonderful time, it was a beautiful warm evening, the setting is fabulous with the dining area and music, everyone was in high spirits. This is a must if you have not attended a polo match. Look for future interviews with the players.
 The San Pancho Friday Night Art Walks continue every Friday night, come out and enjoy a great night of art, wine. There are several new businesses participating. Please check out the calendar for details.
I will update you next week on the next meet and greet to be held at Mar Plata. Here is a photo from the last event at La Ola Rica.
Enjoy the start of high season, restaurants opening, new menus, new faces and the start of the holiday season!

entreAmigos Scholarship Program | |
If YOUR CHILDREN came home and told you that they had the highest grades in school and they were IN THE HONOR GUARD, you´d be EXCITED RIGHT?
Of course, but in México, you´d also immediately start thinking about how you'd have to afford the expensive special uniforms that are required as part of this honor. MANY TIMES, THEIR FAMILIES DECIDE NOT TO PARTICIPATE!!!
This year Not just one but TWO children in the same Family have been selected to join the Escolta and be part of one of the greatest honors in public schools. This honor requires the purchase of a special uniform and shoes that will cost $3000pesos for both kids. That is equivalent to a month of salary for many families.
Luckily, both these students are part of the entreamigos scholarship program and much of the cost of their new uniforms will be paid for, leaving their Mom free to celebrate her children's success and encourage them to continue. We thank Carol and Bruce MacGregor & John and Michele Gillette who support them with their scholarships.
To help a child today please visit us at: http://entreamigos.org.mx/projects/scholarships-outreach/ Or contact us at: ea.scholarships@gmail.com

Notes from the Ranch
| I have a new camera! Woohoo! Thank you to Chris Parsons for helping me find the perfect match for my basic camera skills. This camera, a Canon SX30is, takes photos and video! I think if I can figure out all of the features it may very well do the laundry,too. Hopefully you will enjoy more of my photos here.
The mule, "Chete", arrived and is settling right into life on a Mexican ranch. He came from Kentucky so had a long haul to get here. The first couple of days he was not happy to even look at a saddle and gave me quite a chase when I was in his paddock. But now he is saddled and being worked every day. Still has that "mule-atude" but they are stubborn hard headed creatures. My dad can attest to that! He vows never to have a female mule ever again.
The flower seeds I planted last week are already popping out of the ground. I am going to plant more. Seeds from the US arrive today! Heirloom tomatoes, herbs, purple basil and I can't remember what else. Maybe some more sunflowers and??? A mind is a terrible thing to lose.
Polo practice is every Tuesday and Thursday at 4:00pm in La Patrona Polo Club and the restaurant is open at 5:00pm if you'd like to come and watch practice. Matches are Saturdays at 6:00pm. Last Saturdays  match was fun to watch. The horses and riders are getting used to each other again. It is always a relearning curve after summer months of eating grass and being lazy. The horses, I mean. The players must keep in shape of suffer the consequences for the first few weeks of practices and matches. There is something about rock hard thighs, but I digress.
Last weeks Farmers Market was wonderful with the Revolution Day parade and performances in the plaza. We have so many talented people of all ages in San Pancho! The charros from Sayulitas Mi Ranchito danced for the crowd, too. Although I do have to say that there is nothing attractive to me about beer at 10:00am. But what the heck.
This weeks market promises more venders so come down and look around.
Someone helped themselves to my purse I left on the kitchen table last night. I woke up when the dogs barked but by that time the person was gone with my money. I just keep telling myself what my Grammy used to say, "Time wounds all heels." I will be changing the locks on the doors and be much more viligant about leaving valuables in plain sight. Take care, friends.
Things I am thankful for: Ejido fiestas, honest, hard, dirty work, my son spreading his wings, my Señor and our community.
Contact Tamara with comments or suggestions.
Notas del RanchoTengo una nueva cámara! Woohoo! Gracias a Chris Parsons por ayudarme a encontrar la combinación perfecta para mis habilidades básicas de la cámara. Esta cámara, una Canon SX30is, toma fotos y video! Creo que si puedo averiguar todas las características que puede muy bien hacer la colada, también. Esperamos que pueda disfrutar más de mis fotos aquí.
La mula, "Chete", llegó y se está instalando el derecho a la vida en un rancho mexicano. El vino de Kentucky había para un largo recorrido para llegar hasta aquí. El primer par de días que no estaba feliz de ver incluso en una silla y me dio una gran persecución cuando estaba en su corral. Pero ahora se cargan y se está trabajando todos los días. Todavía tiene que "mulas ATUDE" pero son difíciles criaturas cabeza dura. Mi padre puede dar fe de eso! Él jura no tener una mula hembra nunca más.
Las semillas de flores planté la semana pasada ya están saliendo de la tierra. Voy a plantar más. Las semillas de los EE.UU. llega hoy! Herencia tomates, las hierbas, la albahaca morada y no me acuerdo qué más. Tal vez algunos más y girasoles??? Una mente es una cosa terrible a perder.
Polo es la práctica todos los martes y jueves a las 4:00 horas, en La Patrona Polo Club y el restaurante está abierto a las 5:00 pm si le gustaría venir a ver la práctica. Partidos son los sábados a las 6:00 pm. Último partido de los sábados fue muy divertido de ver. Los caballos y jinetes se están acostumbrando el uno al otro de nuevo. Siempre es  una curva de reaprendizaje después de meses de verano de comer hierba y la pereza. Los caballos, quiero decir. Los jugadores deben mantenerse en forma de sufrir las consecuencias de las primeras semanas de prácticas y partidos. Hay algo en los muslos de rock duro, pero estoy divagando.
Última semana del Mercado de Granjeros fue maravilloso con el desfile del Día de la Revolución y actuaciones en la plaza. Tenemos tanta gente talentosa de todas las edades en San Pancho! Los charros de Sayulita Mi Ranchito bailaron para el público, también. Aunque tengo que decir que no hay nada atractivo para mí sobre la cerveza a las 10:00 am. Pero qué diablos.
Este mercado de semana promete más vendedores para bajar y mirar a su alrededor. Alguien se ayudó a mi cartera me dejó en la mesa de la cocina la noche anterior. Me desperté cuando los perros ladraban, pero en ese momento la persona se había ido con mi dinero. Yo sólo sigo diciendo a mí mismo lo que mi Grammy solía decir, "todas las heridas que el tiempo los talones." Voy a estar cambiando las cerraduras de las puertas y ser mucho más viligant de dejar objetos de valor a plena vista. Tenga cuidado, amigos.
Cosas que me siento agradecido por: fiestas Ejido, honesto, el trabajo duro, sucio, mi hijo extendiendo sus alas, mi Señor y nuestra comunidad.Bendiciones, TamaraEscribe Tamara con comentarios o sugerencias.Tam  ara Bode has been living in San Pancho for 14 years.

Birding in the San Blas Area

Birdwatching in the San Blas area is a must for those of us with interest and curiosity in tropical and migratory birds; but also for people with interest in general culture and history and for those willing to discover this unique historical village surrounded by a rich environment.
San Blas well deserves to be one of the world`s birding Meccas and home of the yearly International Migratory Birds Festival. The large fame as a world-class birding destination is due to the large diversity of birds (in average 300 species during every

Currently there are several tour guides and hotels that cater birdwatchers. If you are interested in making a tour to this area  contact birdingsanpancho@gmail.com, I will be glad to give you more information on the tours to this area and hopefully take you to discover this famous birding destination.
