Romeria is a festival is where carriages travel around town to town with people following and partying behind them. They dress up in beautiful attire and feast along the way. One carriage still had the cows towing it but most are towed with tractors and trucks now a days.
Isla Bonita is advancing every day. Billy finished the Throne Room with a grand table that everyone can eat at together. It's made sturdy enough to walk across. That way if your sitting in the middle and need to get out you just strut it across the table. Billy also added a golden throne in the corner of the room and filled it with a cactus. Joe did a cool painting behind it all with the Ace Of Spades. The Throne room turned out awesome all together. Rose painted a beautiful cow painting in the entry way. The entrance is coming along now. Color's everywhere. I set up a art for sale table to display the different crafts we do here. There's also a donation art table as well. Traveler's leave a piece of their art to donate for Isla Bonita which is nice.
Two guys from Spain came within the same week, Mitchell and Abel. Abel had many extravagant stories which were a blast to listen to. He was also so full of ideas that we couldn't keep up with him. Mitchell on the other hand was such a hard worker and contributed so much in general. He even spoiled us with crepes every morning. A long story short, Abel took advantage of Mitchell and barrowed money from him. A large amount and Abel never came back. Mitchell had to return home to Barcelona and cut his trip short. We all felt so bad that it happened. It's actually not the first time. You have to beware of travelers who are Gypsy's. They usually travel by themselves and beg for money in the streets. Most tell big crazy stories and get you to trust them. Just trust your gut. We've had 2 now and it all broke our hearts. We're here just trying to do good and give people a piece of Paradise to live at. For most of us, we are each other's family.
