Newsletter January 2008
From the sunny Costa Careyes on the Mexican Pacific coast, south of Puerto Vallarta, we wish you the best for year 2008.
Our 20th polo season started great with Thanksgiving in November 2007, having 2nd Ladies Tournament Copa Giuliana and mens cup, Copa Sombras.
Recently finished Christmas and New years season was also very special, having guests from USA, Mexico d.f., Colombia, England, Portugal, Germany and even Russia with a very special former 10 goal, best Mexican polo player, Carlos Gracida.
