Tuesday the 30th - Last Day of Promotions

Our last day of promotion has arrived. We have accomplished something incredible, driving from Canada to Mexico and taking on a three week promotion tour throug over 10 different universities in the largest city in the world. All worth it to get the young Mexican generations to appreciate their rivers.

We are closing the promotional campaign in style with a presentation at La Salle University. To arrive by 8 am, we had to leave our place at 6 am. The security guard at the school takes public transport on Tuesdays because of car restriction; he left home at 4:30am to get there before 8am. And we thought we had it bad.

We parked Laura in the main courtyard where other companies and programs were promoting as well. The university had organized a commerce fair for two days; we got hooked up at the last minute. We definitely drew the most attention. The principal of the university came along and congratulated us on our mission, which always brings our spirits up. I had the chance to address the students in the auditorium, and we had the car outside so the students could learn about veggie oil. Everyone signed Laura to give us their support, and we had a table showing the whole 2008 project on a map.




When five o’clock arrived, Roger and I hugged and called it a promotion completed. Ready to celebrate, we went to our favorite gourmet restaurant; the street food stand outside the university. Tasty hot spicy quesadillas , only $6 dollars for of the two of us.
