Monday to Saturday February 21th to 27th, 2010

Sorry guys, I am so far behind on my blog I think I’m first! I’m gonna do the highlights and carry on!

On Monday night we went back to the Paradise Village Yacht Club to see another Tom Coster performance, with a guest spot with our friend, Tom, on the bass, a great time was had by all.

Tuesday we went on the boat to do some whale watching, we actually saw momma and baby breach!!! We went to Los Arcos to do some snorkeling, Ross was in the water with fish all around him, and it was so cool. The weather was so great………we had a fabulous time!

Wednesday Ross was called to play a gig at Britannia in La Cruz for a fund raiser so we drove there to set up the drums and then drove to the airport to pick up our friend Jan. The poor guy had brought us some flea medication and got the red light at the airport and was told he cannot bring any pet medication in the country without having a pet on board, so it was confiscated, he can pick it up when he goes back home! They didn’t say anything about the Tylenol 1 or back pills he brought us, go figure! We drove straight to Britannia for the gig, poor guy hadn’t been in Mexico for 2 hours and we already had him working.

Thursday we drove to Nelly’s for Ross’s gig at Crazy Nelly’s, Jan’s first paying gig here in Mexico!

Friday we drove to PV to show Jan the sights, went to Rizo’s (sp?) for some popcorn (it is the Canadian/American grocery store) and then had some 2 for 1 ribs at Tortino’s (sp?). We then went to the market, I got a new purse, and Ross got a pinky ring and Jan got a necklace for his daughter! We walked on the Malecon for a bit then drove to Nuevo to book our Los Caletas trip on Wednesday. I love Los Caletas! Ross then drove to his meeting at Paradise Village, Jan, Ross and I had some Starbucks coffee then Ross went to his meeting and Jan and I went shopping. He picked up a shirt from a tailor and I had bought some espresso coffee for us to drink in the morning. After we got home Ross and Jan went to Bucerias Centro to The Twisted Rose (a really good restaurant) and saw the drummer we saw that played with Tom Coster at then Yacht club! What a treat!

Saturday we left at around 11 our time to drive to the golf club tournament that Juan-Ted and the Amazing Rhythm Roosters were playing for. Jan played with them also and then after stopping at Ralph’s house in Lo de Marcos to swing in his hammocks on top of his wonderful house we drove to San Poncho to play for the music festival there! We got home about an hour ago I am finally finishing my blog, Jan went to bed in Betsy and Ross is watching the Olympics bobsledding.

I’m gonna go to bed now, it’s late, I have had a lot of sun and I’m tired.

Ross, Kim Jan and Critters in Paradise!
