New Years Eve 2009

Well Happy New Years everyone Feliz Anyo Nuevo. We are here on the beach and the sun has gone down and we are listening to a live Mexican Country Western Band. They have really set up for the night with a large light system and all the paraphernalia for a real New Year’s extravaganza. Listening to them now without an amplified sound system is rather soothing and although we do not understand the lyrics the sounds are so melodic and sad just the way country music is meant to be. Love lost and love unfulfilled and all of the other sad tales of life.
They had also set up a sort of barbeque or something under one of the pallapas today and the men must have cooked about 60 pounds of meat. It was really interesting watching them cut it up from almost sides of beef or pork.
We are invited to the party and will go for awhile but tomorrow we are heading north again. It was decided to make this a rest day and that is exactly what we did. A walk on the beach and lying in the hammocks was all that we accomplished. This is really a lovely site with the ocean surf waking you in the morning and the site of the crashing surf over the rocky cliff sides that surround this idyllic little bay.
Tonight it will be dinner in the restaurant and I think after watching all that food being prepared I feel like a steak. Maybe even a cervesa if that is not going too far. One does not like as you know to be caught in the grip of the grape. Ah well, it is New Year’s Eve.
So tomorrow, after the night of revelry, all of our resolutions will be made and the football games watched and the sandwiches and nachos eaten and life will be good.
