Fiesta Day Fri Feb 11

Feb 11 Fri Day 25, the usual weather—sunny & low 70’s

It’s a good thing there is a border & this is the USA, if it was all one country you might never see us for 6 or more months a year, Nov. to April. Of course Sheila might have something to say about that and even I would probably miss seeing Mikaela & Erica. Oh yes, and Michael, Adeline and the basement troll.

I got on internet at the clubhouse & the 10 day forecast has a few cooler & possible rain days next Wed to Sat, highs from 59 to 64, (15C to 18C),but that could change. After our W.VB., we came back to RV for lunch, then I washed the car--1st time since leaving home. They don’t allow washing of vehicles in most RV Parks so I just used a bucket of water & a chamois to wipe it down, works fine, just slower than blasting it with a hose & brush. After that, Sheila went out to get & mail two BD cards—one for Mikaela & one for Vicki. Meanwhile, I talked to one of the office girls here & she said if I found another site that had good WiFi connections there was no problem with me moving the RV there.

We headed out to Fiesta night about 4:00. They had the outdoor patio decorated up, with the tables from the ballroom moved out and a stage set up for the Mexican dancers. They had 3 strolling Mariachi players that went from table to table, and a lady that taught us Salsa & the Meringue. Happy hour was real happy for Sheila. They sold you a plastic boot shaped shot glass, 1 oz, for a dollar, and then gave you unlimited free refills. Sheila found Tequila that she really liked called “lime Tequila”, it didn’t taste as strong & she said it was quite a bit sweeter. She also found a Sangria she liked as well, brand name Carlo Rossi Sangria, I think, we will look for it in a store. As this was all included in our ticket, and as I don’t drink, she made sure we really, really got our moneys worth! So much so, she needed me to help her walk in a straight line going home! While we ate our dinner of enchiladas, rice & refried beans, a Folkloric dance group consisting of boys, girls, men & women performed Mexican folk dances. They were in very colourful costumes. I took some pictures & video of the dancing,(could not get the video to load on the blog). It was a fun event, which ended about 7:00.
When we returned to the RV, Sheila went to bed real early & slept almost 12 hrs!
