PING PONG arrives in la bocana
thanks to our wonderful Canadian guest Bruce ! He brought down a ping pong table which had been sitting around inhis garage for years .... we set it
up and the London bound teens are charging 10 pesos a game ... and making good money, I might add ! Loser pays ....
some photos = the arrival:


and players:



as you can see, the game is a huge success so.... I would love to buy some more ping pong tables for the teens. If you have a vehicle that can fit
one, I will pay for a used table. My limit would be $50 and I would love at least 2 of them.
the ping pong tables can be dropped off at the trun off to punta abreojos, right on highway 1, and I would leave your cash with Armida - the owner of
the pitstop restaurant. It will take you all of 5 mintues to unload and get paid.
or, if yo can afford the time, come and visit us and I will have a surprise for you ! Thanks all, Blanca.

You'll need more room to play the game properly. There's no room to cover hits to the sides. Or a hard one to the back.
Perhaps there's a rec area in town with no wind.
Ping pong is a great competitive game but you need the proper facilities to get the most out of it.

they are currently building a cafeteria and we will put the table in there when it is finished. and during the summer vacation, we will put it in a
rec room. I agree about the need to spread out !
