Merry Christmas

December 25th was a very relaxing day in San Carlos. The weather was awesome and the people were outgoing and friendly. We started our day with a jog by the beach and then we enjoyed 18 holes as a twosome on the golf course. We had planned to have the traditional meal of turkey and perogies [thanks EH], but the Caddy Shack Sports Bar offered a Christmas Day special of 18 holes followed by a mug of beer and a cheeseburger. Who can refuse that offer? The turkey meal will be all that much better on Boxing Day.

Most restaurants and businesses were closed for the day and the few that were open were well attended by tourists. Our neighbours went to the Yacht Club and they thoroughly enjoyed themselves - maybe too much. We shall see this morning. Totonaka had a potluck Christmas dinner planned for the pool, but we chose golfing over visiting.

The disco across they street had a huge party last night and the music was blaring until 3:00 am. There were sirens so I have to assume the police had to shut it down again. Henry [the night watchman] is having a very difficult time controlling the people who try to park in Totonaka and walk to the disco. They have been treatening him and also trying to bribe him with cocaine. The disco is becoming a major problem for Joseph and he is trying very hard to shut it down.

I thought for sure you would have headed to La Palapa for french fries and quesadillas after your round of golf!!
That's too bad about the Disco guests being a problem. Is is going to chase away Rvers?

We rode our bikes to La Palapa for french fries last week. REPORT: fries were greasy, washrooms were up to their usual standards and no sign of the "Twins" or the Greek boss.

The disco is already chasing away long term RVers. Some are heading to Puerto Vallarta and some are heading to Mirador.

Sounds like you had a very Merry and relaxing Christmas. We did not golf, but we did tackle the obstacle course in the Hyland's living room, post Santa Claus and gift opening...

Beer and burgers sound like fun on Christmas Day! What's the plan for New Year's Eve? More beer I would think!! :-)

Maybe you should save the perogies for Ukr Xmas, but then you'd have to add holubsti to complete the dinner. We can send EH down if you need a cook! And remember the rule...no discoing for 4 hrs after eating!!
