December 31 & January 1

Well, it has been 2 days of celebration with extreme patio resting in between.  The park has increased its temporary residents by about 200 - 300 Mexicans mainly in tents with tarp gazebos and the odd tent trailer.

The beach has been busy and everyone is swimming, playing games and relaxing.

Mario's was the site of the New Year's eve dinner

Mario's is just across the highway from the park and nearly the entire park of gringos went there.  Dinner was fantastic with tequila shooters supplied by our hosts.  Mario has traveled in the U. S. and Canada.  He and his wife, son and 2 daughters run the restaurant with one other waiter (Pancho).  After the food was cleared, they joined us dancing while Pancho kept the drinks going.  There were a lot of fireworks back at the RV park as well as some automatic weapons fire at midnight in the vicinity of the Colonia police station.   

We spent New Year's Day watching the beach then had 4 friends for Happy Hour and dinner on the patio.

 Then back to relaxing.
