Jesus y Maria!!
Lucia, where the heck d'ya get these pictures?! My memories of any one of those moments is crystal clear but we sure didn't look like that! As far as I was concerned we were cool, not a bunch of ratty '80's kids as we appear in these pics (well, I'm referring to the boys). It's no wonder... ah, I won't get into it. I'm sure you'll read my thoughts.
In any case, despite our awkward appearance (those same women today would probably say we looked "cute"), we probably ran like hell and even though we may have not looked cool, what matters is that we thought we were (at least cooler than today). Quite a trip to see these photos. I bet they come from Gordon, Shanti and/or Nalini. Isn’t that right? By the way, just to re-confirm, the then girls were most definitely all stunningly pretty. Any of you guys notice that?
Enfin, I’m evidently making an ass of myself by typing out this thought in triplicate but I couldn’t stop the urge to say something in reaction to these photos. Lucia, gracias por meterle tanta energia a esta pagina. Creo que si logramos crescerla y conservarla a travez de los anos (espero no sonar demasiado optimista), va a ser un recuerdo padre. Entre las varias mudanzas, no he logrado mantener unos albumes de fotos que puedan aportar a estos recuerdos pero… se que en alguna caja en algun lado, tengo mas de estas memorias. Ojala algun dia las encuentre.
It’s good to touch base with all of you. Frankly the exchange of words and thoughts is nice but not quite as satisfying as spending real time together dissecting our lives over a drink. I have to admit I had to glance twice at some of the taco gathering snaps in order to figure out who was who.
Espero que el pastor en el Charco sigue igual de bueno a aquel de nuestra infancia.
Un abrazo y bon weekend. David.

David, Que bueno que el blog to haga recordar!!!! It's fun to do.... A mi me hace recordar muchas cosas que nunca me imagine seguirian en mi mente. Si te encuentras esas fotos perdidas, escanealas y mandalas y con gusto las pego al blog. Creo que es una forma padre de capturar este momento que todos estamos viviendo juntos otraves. La mayoria de estas fotos las mando Lourdes Tijerina..... Yo tengo un buen tambien, pero en casa de mis jefes y esta ves que fui no dio tiempo de ponerse a buscar. Tambien me dan ganas de hacerlo ahora. Las fotos de los tacos son las que saco Sandrine, ya que la PC en donde yo baje mis fotos tiene un probelma de coneccion con el internet y no he podido hacer contacto. Anyway... I'll get to it as soon as I can.
Es raro ver la realidad de la infancia en fotos, no? Las memorias que se guardan en esa epoca tienden a ser un tanto fantasticas. Pero los chavos tambien eran guapos.... a pesar de ser tan flacos!!!
Como tu, creo que seria padrisimo pasar unos dias platicando, chupando y recordando.... riendo sobre todo!!! El email nos ha dejado platicar, pero vernos y abrazarnos seria sensacional.
I'm glad you like the blog! Keep going in and seeing what's new.
Besos,
Lucia

Holy Moley Lucia,Que chingon te esta quedando la pagina my sweet. Las fotos estan de hairs. My God you gals were just as pretty as I remembered and some. I unfortunately left just as you were all blooming so my fellow classmates really enjoyed la Prepa en el Edron cabrones, while I was freezing my goolies off in Scotland wearing a kilt. Funny the rugby kit colours of the Edron are exactly the same as the one at my school in Scotland.
Rugby was compulsory at school, I played hooker for 2 years and we toured the country playing other boarding schools among them the one at which Prince Andrew and Edward studied. The best thing about being the hooker on that team was that I had 2 humongous props who were Saudi Arabian Princes, complete beasts in the scrum and intimidating the other side.
I remember the Edron rugby team with pride, we had some great talent on that team. Weren't we national champions once, I think we were in 7 a side. The Lacor Bros, Raymond, Seamus, John Tolson, I can't remember the rest of the names... Oh yeah, Diego Zemelman... sorry mate almost forgot.
Oi Stephane, haven't you got any rugby team photos cabron?
