Melaque 2011 random pictures

Here are few more pictures from the trip to Melaque 2011, after going through them. It was a lot of fun. One more time a big thank you to Diego and Jorge Barba from X3M for being such great hosts, and for the competition organization and their work throughout the year. They just opened a shop down Manzanillo that Morgan Brandon and I visited. It looks good and they have lots of good ideas and good friends to help them out, so if you ever go to Manzanillo, check it out. Good times traveling with Morgan and Brandon, always fun! And meeting up with my friends from France and my brother down there was a blast.
My brother just posted some pictures of his trip on his flickr: check them out here
