Company Arrives!

Best thing about being home, friends and family arriving in La Paz! There is something so exciting about waiting for those doors to open at the airport and glimpsing the first sight of your guests.

Oralia Arrives!



Tim and Karen Arrived!

Now, let the fun begin!!!!!!!!

Eating and Drinking, Drinking and Eating!

Introduced Rick and Pam to one of our favorite breakfast places, Maria's Cafe.  They have several items on their menu but  Steve and I seem to be in a rut, we always order the same thing. Steve orders Chilaquiles con pollo and I always order their omelette con jamon y queso, very tasty stuff.  It was kind of sad to come back and find that Jorge, Maria's husband had died of lung cancer earlier this year, he will be missed.

Crit invited us to her boat earlier this week for dinner but before we had dinner there was the requisite dock party!  It's funny, it doesn't matter what country you are in, all you need are boats,  friendly sailors on the dock and booze! Appetizers appeared out of nowhere and new friends were made.  What a great life!

Ahhhhh.....La Paz

Well, the wait certainly was worth it.  We arrived Tuesday in La Paz and it is every bit as wonderful as we remembered.  Our first night in town we had dinner with George and Ros, Mike and Jeanette and Alex and Judy.  We had wonderful gourmet pizza, wine and one of Judy's special concoctions for dessert, yum!  Wednesday we spent the day with Rick and Pam, showing them all the great places to eat!  Thursday was really an interesting day, I got to go on my first ever restaurant review!  Judy had this special assignment and invited me to go along, thank you Alex for being sick!  Friday was another great day, Burgers with Brian and Fern and their guest Robin, and Bill and Barb. 

Saturday we had a lovely dinner at Kay and Steve's and Sunday we finished off our week at Subasta, a wonderful fund raising event for the kids of La Paz.  Here are (from left to right) Pam, Sarah and Crit.  Cold beer sure tastes good when you are sitting with great friends!

All in all, it's been a great first week here at home.  Whew, we're tired!
