I saw a very interesting tree near Las Varas. This amazing tree (Crescentia cujete) is known in Mexico as Jícaro or Cuastecomate. The Huichol Indians use its dried fruits to make maracas which they sell in the market.
It is also known as the Calabash tree. The hard-shelled fruit can grow 10 to 30 cm and grows directly off the trunk and branches.
La Peñita continues to be busy and work progresses on the sidewalks and sidestreets.
Wednesday we went to J.E.E.P. for the annual fundraiser in the afternoon. We helped set up and then a friend and I sold tickets for beer, wine, and soft drinks. We also sold 50/50 tickets. There were 335 dinners served and a silent auction. A very good turnout. The Mexican band was great.

Dr. Phil offered consults for a donation.

Driving home from La Colonia the other day, Cam had an interesting truck pass him.
