Tai-Chi for Val then she went to Tekali’s library to return some books. The gang, including us, went looking for firewood in the afternoon and we found quite a bit. We ended up at the gold course “Palapa” for a quick drink then came home, unloaded the wood and had Happy Hour. We stayed home in the evening and watched a James Bond movie.
Most of the day was spent preparing dishes for our visit to the “LOT”. Five of us, yea I was one of them, did manage a walk on the beach. Val made wraps with flour tortilla which had cheese, mix filling with asparagus, salsa, vegetables, chicken and other ingredients. They were delicious. Lynn made these little green Mexican peppers filled with meat and cheese. We got to the LOT around 4:20 pm and everyone put out the food and we began eating almost right away. They had two guesses show up, Mike and Bob. We had an excellent visit with everyone and had lots of laughs. We watched the sunset (see pictures in Picasa folder) and Billy served his famous tequila. The only down side was the weather. It clouded over and became windy and very cool but it didn’t put a damper on the party mood. We got home around 8 pm and had a fire for about an hour
It was cloudy most of the day and windy but the temperature was warm. We all went to the desert where a golf course (of sort) was built and played nine holes. By the time we got home, our clubs were crusted with hard mud. As we were driving in the park, we spotted Bill and Joyce who arrived this afternoon so we stopped to say hi and invite them over for Happy Hour. We went home, unloaded our gears then drove to town to get beer and milk. Happy Hour at 4 pm, Bill and Joyce joined us and we watched a very nice sunset once again. Val made dinner and we watched the football game. No fire for us tonight!
Val went to Tai-Chi. A beautiful blue sky greeted us and the sun is shining bright and warm this morning! It turned out to be a very warm day...27*C. A quiet day at home, we had happy hour, supper then to the fire for a while. Bedtime was early for everyone.
We left at 11 am to go clamming at a beach about an hour from here. There were the 10 of us plus another couple who followed us in their truck. Pat and Rick came with us. When we got there, the tide was still fairly high but receding so we had lunch and waited about a half hour when we could walk on the mud flats and start digging for clams. After two hours, we got enough to feed and army so we stopped, washed it all, had a beer, enjoyed the sun for a while then drove back home without any incident. We were a bit worried as we were about 10 miles outside the “FREE ZONE” where we supposedly have to have a sticker. No cops came around to check!
At home, we drained all the buckets, then put all the clams into one huge bucket, since them then separated into smaller container and pour salt water over them then corn meal powder which force then to spit it out and at the same time, the sand inside their shells. We had happy hour but no fire tonight; everyone was tired and went to bed early.
