So here it is the week between Christmas and the New Year and there have been a few events here at the Chimulco RV and Water Park. George and Carol had a Christmas eve dinner at their site for about 20 people. Then on Christmas Day it started with a Bean Bag Tournament for the whole RV Park. Mostly Canadians, bean bag is a easy fun game that most people can play. As a matter of fact, I plan on building a game for the river cabin when we get back home. Its fun and easy to play. Just Mercy’s luck, she drew as her partner the best bagger in the park, but scoring can be fickle, and they came in second place out of about 60 baggers. Oh well. I have included a few pictures of the game.

We then had a big ole Christmas Potluck at the club house. There were people there from Germany, Quebec (speaking French), Argentina, English speaking Canadians, and then us and a couple of other Americans. When Gordon Lightfoot came on the Ipod, everyone practically stood at attention ! We ate and danced the evening away. Some were drinking copious amounts of Tequilla. Mercy & I hit the sack at about 9:30. A couple of days later was Wayne & Pat’s (Texans) 50th Anniversary, so that called for a party. It started with breakfast at a Roadhouse Restaurant and ended with a Rib Bar B Que for about 40.

Mercy has been sick on and off since we were in Carlsbad, CA. About a week agho she took a turn for the worst, so we went to the Familiar Farmacia and got a course of Cipro (an antibiotic), guess how much it cost: 35 Pesos, thats about $3.00. She is feeling better, but she still has 3 days to go. Then, right during the Bar B Que for Wayne and Pat, I took sick, high fever and cold sweats, the whole enchilada. So now all I am doing is sitting in the sun and reading, reading bubble gum paperback, The Sun, and some technical shit about Tug Boats. You see, when you get to talking with all these travelers, you find out that they mostly have interesting stories to tell about their careers. There is a guy who was a test pilot for a airplane company, a guy who consults on Tug Boat design, a couple of RCMP cops, a car dealer. Many of these travelers have good stories. Most of them want to tell you their story. Then of course, there are the stories about the trip from Hell, and all the other horrors. But just last week, several couples went to a Rib Restaurant several miles South of here and on the way back, they got a up close and personal view of a shoot out right on the highway. Apearantly it was a drug hi jacking, so the bandits used their rifles to direct traffic around the scene while they unloaded the truck they shot up. The driver ran off, unhurt.
I've got some really interesting pictures, but they seem to be stuck in our camera. I still don't have a handle on this Vista OS. I liked XP better, so I plan on getting back to the picture thing and then I will post them, maybe manana.
