Gayle Dixon little suspected four of us on two quads to appear at her house just starting to be built in La Penita. It is going to be a wonderful brick house, palapa, pool and all. The builder is working on it and we got to see it in it’s “before” stage and envision the finished house as it will be. Gayle is planting and cutting in the big yard and there is a new wall around it. The rest of our Sunday quad ride was just that, not too long or rough. We went to the top of the hills above Los Ayalas and viewed the sea and town below, among the beautiful newly built homes and lots for sale. Then there was lunch in Guayabitos , at a restaurant on the sand, with the sound of waves hitting, boats being launched, and children building sand castles. It was a rush to get home on the quads in time for me to make fresh shrimp cocktails before Shirley and Bob had to go up to their 400pm duty, cooking for “Hamburger Sunday” at the pool. The Gregorys, their guests, and the Webers came by and we made shrimp cocktails for everyone. At karaoke that night, we found out that our neighbor, Ken, and two other residence of the park could really sing. Jo even did one line dance.

Saturday evening it had been our privilege to be invited to Allen’s Bungalows Alexa to partake in his Saturday evening potluck. He invited us, his quad buddies, and entertained us by introducing his guests and Olga, his wife and fantastic cook. Olga made the best-we’ve-had chili rellanos. Two of his guests were wonderful entertainers and sang with their key board and guitar. One little boy named Andrew says he can imitate Johnny Cash!

A new project for Infinity coach???

Today, Monday, Andy has taken a bunch kayaking at Cave beach and I stayed here to help Judy paint wagon wheels of cardboard for the upcoming “Pig Roast” that promises some good times on Thursday.
