Between the Hispanic, American and Canadian cuisines, it’s been a nonstop feast the past few days!
Christmas morning, we enjoyed a brunch buffet at Hotel Playa Mazatlan on their veranda by the beach. After brunch, the women of the group enjoyed a shopping excursion across the street at a jewelry boutique. We were lured in with a coupon we received, promising a free piece of jewelry – a cute little dolphin charm. It turned out to be very profitable for the shop! In appreciation of our patronage, we were treated to a shot of brandy, tequila or Kahlua from a make-shift bar, as we departed.
Friends Kathy and Lonnie invited us to join them for a traditional American/Canadian dinner, hosted by the owners of the La Ventana condominium. The sunset was a Christmas gift in itself! And the food was “over the top”! Leg of lamb, turkey, ham and all the traditional side dishes were included.
As if that wasn’t enough, we celebrated “Boxing Day” with Canadian friends on December 26th!
Our hosts Moy and Scott provided a fantastic setting next t the El Cid golf course.
The banquet was prepared by Marion and Pat – a no-holds-barred feast that put us in the traditional “turkey coma”!
Moy brought out a pinata, which ramped up the activity level several notches! Then, we took a walk around the neighborhood and enjoyed the holiday lights on the magnificent haciendas in this gated community.

Yet to come is another feast tonight at friends Rick and Cranda's home!
We are blessed with such good friends and neighbors here, as well as loved ones miles away!
We want to take this opportunity to wish each and every one of you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Bonnie, Larry and Sly!
