What are we going to do?

The latest day anyone should arrive to Leon is Thursday, March 27, 2008 and at the earliest depart Monday, March 31^st 2008.

We will arrive on Friday, March 21^st, 2008. Anyone and everyone is welcome to arrive on that same date or any time in between March 23 and March 27. (With the festivities on the 22^nd we will not be able to make it to the airport.)

On Saturday, March 22^nd, 2008 the town of Villachuato begins their festival. This is what happens

3/22/08—Cock fights, horse races, “mojigangas” big parade (mardi gras style), big dance in the soccer field. A lot of food, drinking, dancing and more drinking.

Note: This festival is the “big festival” in the town for the year—and we mean big! Imagine all celebrations (b-days and holidays) you partake in for an entire year rolled into one fat week of partying…that’s exactly what this is....that’s how they role in Villachuato, Mich….its fun.

3/23/08—Dancing in the Plaza, drinking, eating, carnival rides and games.

3/24/08—Bull riding, eating, dancing and drinking (and some wedding preparation).

3/25/08—More bull riding, more eating, more dancing and more drinking (and some wedding preparation).

3/26/08—More bull riding, more eating, more dancing and more drinking (and some wedding preparation).

Sometimes they will let a spectator ride a bull. Usually its some young guy who had too much to drink and made a bet with some friends--thats really fun to watch. Nothing like getting drunk and making bad decisions. If your lucky you could be that guy (just remember quality medical care is far away).

3/27/08—A day to recover and assess what bad decisions you may have made while on a 5 day bender (and some major wedding preparation).

--The end of the "Fiesta" Celebrations & beginning of the Wedding Celebrations---

3/28/08—The Groom’s Dinner. We will all get together for some good food/drinks and great company.

3/29/08—The BIG day. The WEDDING! The festivities will begin some time around 2:00 p.m. and we have no way of telling when they will end.

3/30/07—The “Cutting of the Cake” celebration. On this day we will present, cut, and eat the cake. I think this is just an old excuse to have another party. We will have some great food, amazing company, more dancing and, yup, you guessed it, and more drinking.

This is the end of the wedding celebrations. Some people will be departing on Monday, March 31^st, 2008 others will be taking the following week off and traveling around in Mexico. We will soon post some suggested side trips.
