Happy Birthday to Julie

WHERE ARE WE? La Penita, Mexico

More laundry today.  I had to pick up the laundry that I didn't get yesterday plus we had a bunch more.  Its always nice to get the bedding done and they air dry it I think.  Anyway, when I went there with my load of laundry, Marie said pickup on Thursday!!  I think it had something to do with all the laundry lined up on the street.  She will be a busy lady.

Next plan was to drop off a bunch of clothes that Kenia had in Canada and we brought down in the MH.  While I was at her house I was feeling hungry so we went around the corner to a little tin taco place for dinner.  2 taco's each and 2 pinapple waters, 100 peso's.  Perfect lunch and super tasty.

Even the local cowboy and his horse were on some down time.  

They do like to take care of their old trucks.  Water and gravel trucks are fixed up with all sorts of lights and reflectors and the paint is really colourful.  They love the chrome as well.

I headed home and later in the afternoon, Kenia and Oscar and her dogs came for a play on the beach.  They sure have a lot of fun in the ocean with the dogs.

There are not as many people on the beach now that Christmas is winding down.

We were invited to go out with Steve and Julies to celebrate Julie's 29th 39th Birthday.  I just can't keep up with how she is growing up so fast!!!  We went to a restaurant called Buhardilla for supper.  We had reservations for 6 and we got out of there about 9 due to some very slow service.  

At least there was some music while we waited and we were in very good company.

We were actually happy to be there but the picture didn't show it.

The food was great, maybe a little skimpy, but good quality. Some steak, some seafood, some pork and some pasta.  Someone said the make good pizza but we will never know cause we didn't order any.

The reason the pictures are all yellow is because there was a huge neon light above our table.  It was for ambiance so there!!!  Here is proof of how good the meal was!!

Barry requested them to sing Happy Birthday which they did and they brought out some fruit in a cream sauce with a candle.  It was nice.  It's always tricky whether you should draw peoples attention to a birthday girl when she is 39 but I think Julie loved it. 

All in all it was a great night of laughs and chatter.  There is always lots of catching up to do after the summer away from here.  We enjoyed each others company and will do it again sometime.

The check was a little expensive but it was delivered in this funky wooden box!!  Made everyone feel better about paying it!!!  We said goodnight and went our seperate ways.  It was another good day.  Good Nite to you too!
