Nacho Libre this summer

Nacho Libre is a terrific comedy movie that you must see this summer.

“Nacho is a young man who was raised in a Mexican monastery in Oaxaca and now works there as the cook, and takes it upon himself to rescue the holy place from financial ruin by joining a local Lucha Libre tournament and becoming one of the ‘Luchadores’. Naturally, Nacho isn’t acting out of purely altruistic measures, as he wishes to help Sister Encarnacion , a beautiful Mexican nun who has recently arrived at the monastery, as well as the gaggle of young orphans who live there.”

Wine of the week: Ernest & Julio Gallo Sierra Valley Merlot

California has diverse climates and soils capable for producing an extensive array of high quality grapes with distinctive character. The grapes for this wine were harvested from vineyards across California and have a strong taste.

Web cams for the border in Texas.

Texas Governor, Rick Perry, wants to install web cams in the Texas border with Mexico to monitor “immigrant activities”. Is this necessary?

Anyway, I do not think this is a good idea, U.S. does not need to take care about the border, but they need to take care about the White House decisions.
