A busy week - how did I ever have time to work? (this is Leanne....) Paul however, has worked very hard all last week on a large project...

The weekend was all about celebrations - Saturday - Ron and Myrna's wedding - It turned out I was the entire decorating committee, and also "day of" coordinator. I organised all the decor, the guest check in (with food and drink vouchers) and orchestrated the timing of the ceremony!  Alot of fun! The wedding was at 4 pm and by 7 pm the Tequila was flowing and the party was full on.  Paul had the opportunity to play bass with the band and keyboard player Henry who he played with a few years ago.

Sunday was tennis and then a "panalada" (baby shower) for Raul's daughter Giselle who is expecting her first baby (a girl in 6 weeks time). It was themed as a "Pampers" party - so I rushed into town to find Pampers, only to learn they don't sell them here - only "Huggies" - so it became a "Huggies" party followed by a BBQ!

Christmas is popping up everywhere. - even on the side of the highway (see pic) where you can shop as you go over the "topes" (speed bumps) - See pic of really interesting ornamental figures of pigs, dogs, and even Santas and Snowmen - all going in my suitcase to take back to Vancouver as gifts!

Couldn't resist taking a photo of the Arumburo (bull) on top of a local Supermarket who has his Christmas outfit on as of today, December 1st! 

Found our new favorite restaurant today - Christines. She was in our neighborhood last year, but moved into town recently into a 100 year old house (very quaint) - we had an awesome lunch today and will be back! Great food, and really interesting house.

Molly also has found her new favourite place to rest - in the shower!  So wierd.

The house is coming along - we have all the lower level rooms in place now, and we can really begin to visualise how it will be.

We managed to miss the brunt of Hurricane Sandra - some wind and rain but not as expected so thank goodness for that.  The furniture can go back out on the deck.
