From all of us here in El Cardonal, we wish you a happy and prosperous New Year.  We enjoyed a lovely evening of fresh sierra (mackerel) on the bar-b-qd, guacamole, rellenos, etc.  With a bon fire raging till 3 am, we shared stories, wishes for 2009, and sang songs together.  The kind of new year's eve I wish for all year.  Love and peace was all around.
