For my last meeting as President of the Super Zona Sur I invited all my volunteer constituents to La Lucha for my town's annual fiestas. As the advertisement below indicates, the weekend is chocked full of events from live concerts, to bull riding to cabalgata (an organized, afternoon-long horseback ride). Thanks to my town's location near the Panamanian border, it's easy enough to lure some reggaetoneros and DJs from our southern neighbor. And as my house was already full of family members who came back for the fiestas, I told everyone to bring a tent and some warm clothes and we'd camp out. The end result was a an Occupy Wall Street-esque tent colony in front of the house. It turned out to be a really fun event, and I appreciate everyone who came out, especially Ken Ferrell who came all the way from Limón. The weekend's highlight for me was getting my picture taken with Bossy Lion and Sunday's rodeo (see video above).
