Today (Domingo), went with my good friend of 36 years Chilón and his amor, Carolina, to the very interesting town of El Triunfo for a surprise birthday party for his older son César. We had beef tacos and birthday cake under the shade of mesquite trees.
In the first photo, left to right: César’s brother Daniel, Chilón, me, and César.
I’ve known the boys since they were very young and have seen them turn into fine strong young men, much like my own boys, Will and Evan.
Many of the people here are mountain bikers and desert runners.
A few other shots around El Triunfo.
