Manny Pacquiao’s Comeback-and His Son’s Debut

1 week ago | altaonline.com | Geoffrey Gray

Manny Pacquiao, the former boxing champion and Filipino politician, leans deep into the back booth of Nat Thai Food, a steamy little restaurant near his gym in Hollywood, and yawns. It’s the first day of training camp. He’s been up all night, having just flown in from Manila—and having just announced that after four years in retirement, and a failed bid to return to the Filipino Senate, he’s coming back to the ring on July 19, in Las Vegas. He’s a heavy underdog.

Gifts are never easy. But what do you give a man like Mike Tyson? He’s been a champion, an outcast, an inmate, an addict, an actor, an icon. Plus, boxers in training are notoriously hard to please.

Our talk goes late into the night. My office is dark, the only light spilling out from an old desk lamp onto a cache of documents from the cult: tax records, bank records, ancient spells, the death certificate. Chris Ahlvers is on the line from a place she keeps outside Tucson; I’m on the outskirts of Mexico City where I live and work. She’s telling me about her younger sister and wondering where she is. She and Dee Ann were very close.

Since 1914, the Centre des monuments nationaux (CMN) has looked after 110 sites of historic importance, ranging from prehistory to the 20th century. Nineteen of them are listed by UNESCO.

Last year, more than 11 million people visited one of the CMN’s sites, the most popular being the Arc de triomphe, which drew 1.75m visitors, closely followed by Mont Saint-Michel, which welcomed 1.52m visitors.
The Lost Mission of Santa Isabel

We had packed truck stop burritos (for lunch), sleeping bags (in case we broke down and had to spend the night in the Baja desert), and two bottles of gas station red wine (because why not?). We knew that our route was likely to be blocked by boulders from a recent hurricane. We realized we might encounter scorpions and rattlesnakes. The heat would be unbearable. And our transport—a rusted-out death trap of a dune buggy—was barely operational.
