December 16 - Clases de español

Spanish lessons today.  Three new people showed up, one a veteran of last year's classes, and two beginners, for a total of eight.  Ivan has been progressing from where we left off in the spring, so the new folks are rightfully having difficulties.  Since we already had one beginner attending, we have put the word out on the Park's Facebook page to see if we could drum up another couple of beginners, for a group of five to make it worth Ivan's time to start a second class.

Classes are in the Park's Clubhouse, which doubles as the library and bingo hall

And ping pong, darts, & stitch and bitch

Nancy dog-sat our neighbour's dog, Amber (a Standard Poodle), while her owner did a shopping run to Puerto Vallarta today.

Nancy went to aqua-sizes in the afternoon, while I went for a drive to scout out Mateja's (a bar & grill with occasional live music, on the north end of the beach in Rincon).  Had supper on the deck at home, watching eight Brown Pelicans diving for fish off the first breakwater.  They spent a half an hour working the same small spot, until they filled up and left.

Much excitement!  Cinema Guayabitos opens the new Star Wars movie "Rogue One" today!  It's a long trek up a set of stairs with no handrails, but the seats and screen are great, and the 1:30 show has subtitles.  We'll give it the weekend for the crowds to abate, and hit it on Monday.
