Saturday and Sunday March 27th & 28th 2010

Saturday was a great day. Ross and I drove to Lo de Marcos to meet up with Damien and his band, Olympic Sound Collective (his cd is called Live in Seattle) so Ross can pick up his Tama drums that he had left there as he has a gig in Bucerias on Tuesday on the beach for a birthday party for two 50 year olds. He had left the drums there as the drummer needed to see what part of the bass drum Ross needed and also so Ross could play with them, which he ended up doing at a bar in Guayabitos, on the beach, called Latitude 21. I have some pictures, but I’m having a problem posting pictures on my blog, so I’m not quite sure they will work. It is so cool to be listening to a band that my husband is playing, and having your toes being soaked by the ocean! Gosh we love it here.

We didn’t get home until 2ish so as you can imagine we slept in way too late, as we were planning to clean the band room (which really is the spare bedroom) we weren’t really motivated to get going fast. We putzed and had our showers and when we couldn’t find much else to do we started cleaning. Ross did a fabulous job of the band room/spare room, it looks almost like new! We can actually see the floor; he even went to Mega and picked up some storage boxes for all the cables and stuff. We now have room to put our blow-up bed in. I tidied up my office and changed some things around, still not the way I want it but it is a lot better than it was. We are slowly getting organized, even with the mountain of stuff we left behind; we have way too much shit.

We went to The Twisted Rose for supper; I had the Irish hamburger, it comes with a sunny side up egg on top of the patty. Definitely different, Hugh, one of the owners, said that back in Ireland and around those parts an egg is expected on a burger, similar to lettuce I suppose. The burger also had fried onions, mushrooms, bacon, lettuce, tomato etc. etc. etc. Ross had a regular burger then about 3/4 of mine, it was huge! I had a Dos Equis (XX) Lager (a really good cerveza) and Ross had some superb limonada (lemonade) to drink. Hugh and Simon aren’t normally open on Sundays, which we had forgotten about, so we were really lucky that they were open.
Well that’s it for the weekend, we watched Corrie Street until bed.

Hope everyone had a great weekend too!
