Dia de los Muertos

In the morning, Leos and I went to his nephew's first ever MMA match.  He is the world champion for muay thai, so his coach wanted to have him try a new discipline. It was the first time I watched MMA live.  For me it was a bit difficult watching the really young kids fight.  One of the kids in the first matches dislocated his shoulder.  That was pretty tough to see.  Finally it was Leos's nephew's, Libor, turn to fight.  In the first round he got thrown to the ground which caught him off guard and he didn't know what to do.  In the second round, he was able to stay up and when he did, his opponent didn't have a chance.  His punches and kicks were so strong and precise.  He ended up winning his match.  It was a good fight. First time competing in MMA and winning is pretty darn good.  We didn't stay much longer after his fight.  I went to the farmer's market to get my weekly pesto bread and then I headed to the Dia de los Muertos event.  It was nice to see all the decorations and watch all the performances.  It was quite cold though, so I didn't stay too long.  I tried to compete in the raffle for a trip to Mexico, but unfortunately I didn't win.  It's ok because the trip was for Puerto Vallarta and I have been there 2 times already.  It was quite an eventful Saturday!
