Birthday Party

Gloria has been waiting to celebrate her birthday for the last three days and tonight was the perfect time. A huge group from Parque Tecalai descended on Bananas Restaurant and threw their staff into a tizzy. The place was booked but I think we surprised them with the turnout and the partying.

It was the most unique time we have had in a long while. The drinks were fine - what damage can you do to beer, but the meal was something else. The salads arrived without utensils and none were found - we had to share as the restaurant didn't have enough for a full house. Some even tried using drinks straws to eat the salad! Just another memory from Mexico!


When the steaks and shrimp reached the table it became finger food until your neighbour finished their meal. Nobody could stop laughing and we all stored these memories for future reference.

The mariachis played for two hours and the two hours were well worth the time and money. Gloria was the star of the night, tequila shots and all. Happy Birthday Gloria!




Fred and I couldn't stay late as we are entered in the St. Patrick's Day Golf Tournament tomorrow and we needed to get our beauty sleep. By late, I mean 8:30!

By the way, I am taking part in our Ladies Club Championship and am near the top of the leader board in the first flight. We have completed 36 holes as of today and will finish up on Tuesday. Will keep you posted.

No we didn't get to Bananas. It is across from from Santa Rosa and on the beach side of the street. Close to Maru's.

Golfing is finished - placed first in net score and third in gross score. I'm happy with that.
