Isla Mujeres 2015
Day 10
Out to the balcony….still not used to the time change but
I’m trying to sleep in a bit…
A few clouds around but they look harmless……how wonderful to
float like a bird….
As much as I could sit here all day, time’s a wastin’! It’s FIESTARITA DAY!!!! Our 7th annual get together
with amigos. Each year the list of
guest grows. Very thankful that
Caribbean Casa Isladise is such a perfect place to hold a fiesta!
We have a light breakfast and then get to cleaning the
casa. We borrow extra chairs from
Keith and Elisa who are staying downstairs in Sonrisa. Future Sonrisa guests…be forewarned….an
invite to our Fiestarita if we can borrow chairs!
Keith and Elisa reading and relaxing on the malecon….
And as soon as I turn my back, guess who joins them?! Hey,
get back here and get to work!
I’ll have a break then too and admire my daily view…
I’m so glad to see that the navy base got my memo about
making things spiffy!
A mini tour of Isladise’s main floor, all ready for the
invasion….
As the afternoon continues, clouds roll in. Noooooo!! It can’t rain on our parade! It does rain a bit with wind gusts too. Phooey!
Vince and Keith dash off to Asia Caribe to get our sticky
ribs. When they return with the
goodies, I open the box. Um,
what’s this? Those are not sticky
rib appies! Turns out that we got
the dinner ribs instead. Oh dear,
how’s this going to work? I cut
them up into pieces, put them in a pan and into the oven to stay warm. Instead of an appy they became a dinner
course and were just perfect.
5:30 and the gang starts arriving, all laden will wonderful
food and drink.
Sparky gets busy making his new specialty…Tequila
Sunset. Very tasty…and just a
little bit deadly! I do like my
drinks to be colour coordinated with my casa, haha!
Early birds start digging in….
All the food was truly amazing! Just some of the appetizers….
Stephanie brought some awesome homemade wine gums….didn’t
get a photo as they disappeared quite quickly!
Captain Tony Garcia and Betsy brought a huge amazing bowl of
lobster salad….died and gone to heaven delicious!!!
What a wonderful group of amigos….
Lots of photos of our fun evening….
So, maybe a little explanation needed here. Keith and Vince have this little issue
with having to hold onto our purses once in a while. Of course we always get a photo when that happens and tease
them. Now I think they’re starting
to enjoy it!
Mini oreo cookie monster!
Nice photobombing going on….
And another photo bomb….
Seriously…a photo bomb epidemic going on…too funny!
As the evening wears on, the crowd begins to thin….but then
more fun ensues. What better way
to top off this fun and food with dessert! Keith is an expert crepe maker and quickly dashes downstairs
to get supplies.
Elisa adds the nutella and banana and the rest of us enjoy
the yummy treat! Delish!
I can’t explain this one….can’t remember!!! Pretty sure it wasn’t raining in the
casa! Guess you had to be there!
Somewhere around midnight, it’s just the 2 of us. Clean up time! By 1 the dishes are done, floor washed
and garbage emptied. Really didn’t
want to get up to that in the morning so glad we did it. You can always tell how good a party
was by the number of empties….these are just a few…..
Gracias to everyone who made this another wonderful Fiestarita!!! Here’s to 2016!!!
