Wine, Margaritas, Fun

Saturday morning we rode our bikes to the 8/12 to get emails and newspapers and then lazed about the RV until lunch. Then we rode the bikes to Don Julio's Restaurant where they were having a wine tasting and an Arts and Crafts Sale. It was mostly Americans, who are either living in Rocky Point or there for the winter, selling items that they made like jewelry, chocolate candy or home made jelly's or coffee. The wine tasting was in Don Julio's which is a lovely, old style restaurant. We tried 5 different wines from Mexico and bought two bottles. They were pretty good wines.

Saturday evening was our Sunset Cruise. We went out on a catamaran that could hold about 120 people but there was only about 70-80 on board. We had all the free margaritas we wanted and they served some chips, veggies and dip. Then they started playing some great music and a few ladies started dancing and before you know it I was out there and pulled John in for a few dances. We had a great time. Almost missed the sunset!

We joined three other people for supper on the Malecon and then walked back to the RV park, stopping once at Latitude 31 for a beer. We met the owner who was a real character and fun to talk with. This is about the latest we have stayed up in a long while.

Sunday was another lazy day, a little bit warmer but still enough of a breeze that we didn't sit on the beach. I did some laundry, John rode his bike, we visited with new friends, and napped. Supper was the closing banquet, a catered dinner by a local restaurant. They ran out of food just before we got there so we had to wait another 30 minutes for them to go back to the restaurant to prepare some more. We joined a large group on the beach around a roaring campfire after the dinner. The fire was built in an old washing machine tub. What a neat way to recycle.
