On Saturday, after spending most of the day floating in the surf, we joined Keith and Louise for an adventure into the back part of town.  Waaaayyyy back in San Patricio you can find a large “Lounge” that has some of the loudest music I’ve ever had penetrate my ears and enjoy my first  “Drag Show”…  We thought we would arrive a little early and get our choice of table, but 2 hours early was a bit much.  But once there and settled in, we made ourselves comfortable and waited for the rest of the crowd to arrive.  This did give us a chance to do some people watching, especially the kind of “people” that take in this sort of show at this time of day…5pm.  Now remember, we arrived at 3:30 and we’re wondering about THOSE people ???  Well, when the first BUCKET (12 cerveza) arrived (a bucket of 4 cerveza each was the way you had to order) we were first taken back, but then you had to order your food to go along with it.  What were available were small dishes of peanuts, tostados (2), or a quesadilla, one order per person.  Now we didn’t understand this at first, but the food was a part of the purchase with the cerveza.  As you might imagine (for those that know Keith and Louise and us) finishing the bucket wasn’t much of a big deal, but ordering a second….well the show hasn’t started yet…  No sooner had we started into our second bucket and the music (still blaring) changed, and the “Show” has started.  We’ve seen Drag Queens at Capital Hill in Seattle, but these girls? were

_and told some incredible jokes.  Unfortunately we didn’t understand a word as they were all in Spanish, but we still laughed our heads off knowing, or thinking we knew, what they were saying.  We didn’t feel we could walk away from the club if we were to stay for the next show, so we gathered our legs under us and made our way back to the coach, knowing we had had a full day.  Now we’ve got nothing to do but wait for the next morning to arrive so that we can start something new and exciting.  Sunday started off by taking the laundry in to the Laundromat and heading to the beach for another half day of a little swimming, floating, and eating some wonderful food from the local establishments.  Speaking of food, Keith and Louise are staying at a campground about a 20 minute walk down the beach from our campground, and they have invited us to join them for a pot-luck of hors d’orves (sp) and drinks.

_Louise put together a cheese spread and crackers dish and we headed out.  The campground that they’re at has been very “sociable” and have put together outings like this the whole time they’ve been there.  Our campground on the other hand has been sociable if you’re Canadian…  On the up-side of our campground is the location.  We’re located  within 30 yards of town center which gives us access to all the restaurants and other stores of need or not, and they are situated between the sea with a HUGE surf and a large lagoon which is totally covered with green plants, crocodiles, and mosquitoes.  As always, choices, choices, choices.
