Marion’s Feliz Compleanos!

Tuesday December 27, 2011

Last year we had a really nice birthday party for Marion and it was Fred’s treat for the “whole” park for pizza.  Guess what, Fred was nice enough to do it again this year.  What a guy….Muchos Gracias….to Fred!

That’s Connie taking the opportunity to organize the Bocce tournament while she had a captive audience.  We had fun playing two years ago and this year we are not picking partners….but having them drawn for us so it will be fun to see who is paired up.

Hal & Rita.

Val, Glen, John and Mary ….Connie says “Who’s in?”

The pretty lady on the right is part of a group of older ladies who travel from B.C. together in four rigs to Mexico.  They will be here for a month and then travel farther south to San Blas and Melaque….they aren’t sitting around in rocking chairs rocking themselves to death!  Gutsy bunch!

The ladies past Sandi and Marilyn are part of the same travelling group.

We started happy hour at 4pm and pizza arrived at 4:30 Mexican style on the back of small motorcycles.  They can carry anything on a motorcycle here….small families….groceries….and Eric even saw a guy with a five foot long  propane tank strapped crossways on a bicycle the other day!  What a country for innovation.

That’s a lot of pizza to buy….and to eat.  It is Domino’s two for one Tuesday and wouldn’t you know it….it was even Marion’s actual birthday this year!

It has been so cold in the late afternoons that people are breaking out their winter gear to sit outside.  Sandi looks toasty warm!

This is “not” Marilyn from White court, Alberta in her down jacket.  She wants everyone in San Carlos who she told that it was much warmer here in Mazatlan not to see this picture…..so….it’s not her!  In all fairness it is probably even colder in San Carlos.

I think there are about 30 pizzas so there was plenty for everyone including leftovers for the workers.  That’s Eric on the left with his plate ready to fill.

After everyone gathered and ate pizza we all scurried back to the warmth of our rigs by 5:30pm….how sad is that.  The wind was blowing in addition to the cold temperatures so we had to dress accordingly! 

All in all a good time was had by everyone!
