The Thanksgiving dinner we sat down to last Thursday evening, was by far “THE BEST” meal we’ve ever had that Louise didn’t make for us. Yes, it was a turkey dinner and with dressing too, but that’s far from the end of the tale. You know the pictures that you see on TV or in the magazines were the Chef has produced one of the most incredible sculptures of delectable foods; well that’s just what we received for our dinner. From the appetizer to the desert, all was amazing…
The rest of the week was taken up with things like a drive to a very small village high up the side of the mountain. The dirt road that we traveled for 6 miles should have told us that maybe this drive just wasn’t worth it, but then what if it were? Well the secret is out…we wasted our time and our gas. Yes, there is a village, and there are people living there, but the question is “why”??? We also continued with our morning exercising (bike rides, water volleyball, aerobics, etc…), Sunday hamburger night, and Tuesday margarita night at the palapa overlooking the beach.
I also played a round of golf last Thursday. We played “Best Ball” and fortunately our team came in second….we were back in the money ($25 pesos). Following the 18th we were entertained by a small dance group while we enjoyed another breakfast.
We also installed a new TV receiver box in the coach.
It’s amazing, but the Canadians have StarChoice Satellite which they can watch their TV programs from Canada to deep Mexico, but the systems that we have available from the states will only let us view our programs from border to border…not outside of it. Well I’ve got friends down here…we were given one of their extra receivers and can now watch the “network” programs from Seattle and all the other channels including HBO and sports.
