Happy B-Day to me! Put a load of laundry in (the ice chest!) to soak for the day and did dishes and filled the water tanks.

We had breakfast at the yacht club with Don & Judy. We watched the dredger moving along the marina. This is a self-powered model where the backhoe on one end pulls it forward while the bucket on the other end is the rudder. It is quite a site to see! We also got to see how the ponga that was tied up to it was pushed by the bucket to the other side of the channel. It was really funny (wish I had the camera with me).

Got the bus to Bucerias where a festival is starting today. We walked the beach side of the town for a while, looking at all the things for sale. There was quite a bit of Huichol Indian bead stuff for sale (should have taken a picture - I'm getting lazy). One shop had a window full of day of the dead dolls, interesting to see a window full of those fashionistas! We sat in a restaurant on the beach and had a few beers and ceviche. A local cat was hanging around (shared some of our ceviche) and started playing with the zipper pulls on the back pack. Cute!

After the nice relaxing morning we headed back to the marina (instead of taking yet another bus to continue going to Mega for supplies as we had intended this morning). We switched out the load of laundry, another load in while the other was hung on the life lines and rails to dry. Off we went to Philo's.

We had a few beers at Philo's and hung out listening to the jukebox that was playing while the band set up. Don, Judy & Rob with Dennis on Dolce Vita came in later. The band started playing and we had to go dance! I didn't think I was going to be able to dance much after walking around all morning and due to the fact that the last boogie-woogying made my back really sore for days! I was wrong of course! Don & Judy got the band to play Happy Birthday for me!

We also got to see a great salsa routine by two of the employees during a break. They were absolutely fabulous! Philo's has salsa lessons by those two if anyone is interested! Needless to say, we closed Philo's!
