Another wonderful day in Paradise! Lynn locked herself outside of Betsy (she locked the door on the inside and closed the door, not good. Ross had to climb in through the driver’s window to open her up. We won’t be doing that again!

We met Dick, Mary Carmen, Sue and Harold and off to Vallarta we went for some 2 for 1 BBQ ribs, wow, were they fantastic! The restaurant is in the Romantic zone of Vallarta, past the cruise ships, Wal-Mart, the hotel Zone and the market. Our ribs were 130 pesos for two big plates. We drove through the tunnels on our way home and showed Lynn Fluvial (a housing complex in Vallarta close to Costco), they have some really nice townhouses there, we looked there to buy but it is in Vallarta and the houses are really close together without any yards.

We got home around 6ish and took some cervaza’s up on our roof top palapa and watched all the rain clouds fade away into blue sky. The weather is so funny here, blue sky in the morning and early afternoon, it get’s cloudy mid afternoon (sometimes but still really hot), it looks like we are ready for a downpour then nothing happens. Very strange!

Lynn had a gay old time taking pictures from up on our roof, we had horses, chickens, roosters my cats,……..twice Sunshine goes to our next doors lot and cries and wines for me to come get him, once he actually jumped into the house through the window, thankfully no one lives there yet. Tigger walks along our wall, jumps onto the roof of our storage shed then is clawing madly trying to get to the top (you can hear his nails just clawing to no avail) he finally falls down between the storage shed and the wall, thankfully there was nothing down there that could hurt him. Shadow jumped across to the other roof and was telling Tigger to come too, he thought about it a couple of times then, thank god, he decided not to. Shadow decided to come home too!

Off to Philo’s at 8:30 for some pizza and good music! Wow we had a great time, Philo’s band played first of course, Lynn had very good coronas and I had some great tinto vino (red wine), then we changed to Margareta’s and Pepsi. Once Ross and Tom (bass player) played we ordered some absolutely fabulous pizza and enjoyed the ambience of Philo’s. I did a bit of dancing with the girls, but by half way through one song I thought for sure that my ankle was going to fall off, it hurt so much. Once the song was over, I bowed out and went back to the table. I won’t be doing that for a while longer.

We didn’t leave until about midnight and got home and had a wonderful conversation outside on the patio until about 1:30am, it’s bedtime.

Hope everyone has a great Friday
Ross, Kim and Lynn in Paradise!
