Day of Golf

This morning eight Canucks headed for the golf course and a great time was had by all. We didn't golf like the pros do, but we did okay and had fun doing it. No sightings of horses, cows or snakes - only a few dogs!

The weather was perfect for the game and for our lunch after. The golf course kitchen is famous[around here] for their fish and chips and today didn't disappoint.

Great Day

The temperatures were hovering around 27C, I played 18 holes of golf, dropped Maggie off for a sleep-over, went out for an early dinner of coconut shrimp and now, at 6:29, am watching TV in my pjs.....just doesn't get any better!

Walk on the Beach

We took a 25 minute bike ride to the beach by the Pilar Condos outside of San Carlos. The beach is quiet and peaceful with very few people about. The dolphins often play in the water by the condos but today they were elsewhere.

We don't often ride out here - usually Fred walks Maggie along this beach giving her freedom to get her exercise.

Friends

Maggie has another friend who lives two doors down from our house. Our dog has always had a fear of jumping over fences but not anymore. We are unable to leave her alone outside because she now escapes whenever she wants to see Knightly.

She not only goes for a dog visit, but Maggie walks straight into the neighbour's house to eat Knightly's food and steal his toys.

Dog retraining is now in order! How can we get that fear of jumping fences back?

Great Weather for Kiteboarding

A few days ago the weather was perfect for an afternoon of kiteboarding - watching, not participating! The only physical activity we took part in was to strengthen our "cerveza arm". And that took repeated reps!

Golfing

Pretty good form for someone who hasn't golfed in 9 months! And, he beat me!!

The course isn't in the best of shape but they are working on getting water to the greens and fairways. I can see small improvements every week.

Hangover Breakfast

Fred and I didn't have any special plans for New Year's Eve so we volunteered to spend a couple of hours working at the bar for Tecalai's Dine and Dance. The Committee had hired local Mexicans to be behind the bar, but they are unable to handle the club's cash so we took that upon ourselves.

Imagine our confusion when we were introduced to the four workers - Luis, Luis, Luis and Luis Manuel! All the Luises worked hard and kept the bar hopping!

People often need a pick-me-up after a night of dancing and celebration so Fred and I hosted a "Hangover Breakfast" for 25 of our neighbours at 9:00 am. It was a huge success and many left here full and ready for an early morning nap. The camera remained hidden this morning!!

The first day in 2012 was hot and sunny which meant "the beach"!

Happy New Year to all!
