Bid
It was understood that Mayagüez was going to be the only city to ask to hold the games, so that there was going to be no need for a vote in the assembly held in Havana, Cuba in 2004. But the organizers found that Guatemala would present a bid of their own. The vote was held on 15 May 2005 with Mayagüez winning.

Famous quotes containing the word bid:
“Go, bid thy mistress, when my drink is ready,
She strike upon the bell.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Now bid me run,
And I will strive with things impossible,
Yea, get the better of them.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“O tiger’s heart wrapped in a woman’s hide!
How couldst thou drain the lifeblood of the child,
To bid the father wipe his eyes withal,
And yet be seen to bear a woman’s face?
Women are soft, mild, pitiful, and flexible;
Thou stern, obdurate, flinty, rough, remorseless.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
