Wednesday January 27 2010
I slept in some this morning as I had a hard time getting to sleep then of course at 4:00am the bottle rockets started going off.
This is the week of the 6th annual Festival Internacional de las Aves Migratorias. The town is full with what we call birders from all over. Every day they have a different field trip they can take to see all the different birds that are here right now.
In the evening they have entertainment on a stage they have put up on the plaza.
Sunday the 24th we had decided to go to Wala Wala’s for hamburgers but got there just as he closed the door. Our next try at finding something to eat was to find where the economical that we have been going to this year moved to. We couldn’t find it but I think it wasn’t open yet as I found it on Tuesday and we had walked right by it.
Our next try was to go to La Familia, they, as well as La Isla. McDonalds (no it’s not the US McDonalds) was open but the last time we ate there the food was not as good as it has been. I know it could have been a different cook.
So we decided to go back home and use some of the tomato sauce to make spaghetti with. It was better than I thought it would be. The sauce had a little spice to it but was very tasty.
We didn’t go to the plaza to see the opening ceremonies for the festival but was told it was real good entertainment.
Monday the 25th we went to Wala Wala’s for hamburgers, they were very good. They were 55 pesos each so dinner was 110 plus a 10 peso tip.
Larry fell asleep before time to go to the plaza so I went without him. They had only one entertainer; she was a very good signer. I think people were disappointed that there was only one.
Tuesday the 26th we decided to try steak night at the Social Club again. Only it looks like steak night is gone. We decided to get the rib eye for 99 pesos anyway. They were really good. At first we thought they had been cooked to long but they were cooked how we like them and tender. The steak dinner for both of us was 198 pesos plus a 22 peso tip that had not been added to the bill. We left much happier this time than last. Just wish they still had steak night.
For the entertainment they had 5 different acts. Most of them were local entertainers.
One band of young men from Coco Loco’s, a young woman singer, a couple of older men that entertain at McDonalds, was the local acts. There was a group of singers from San Francisco Mexico, and another woman singer that I don’t know where she was from.
We didn’t get back home until 10:30pm, a late night out for us.
