Happy 30th Birthday Luis

Rinse and repeat. Our day started like most of the others here in Los Cabos. Coffee, internet and read on the balcony.

We went to the pool for Loteria. There was a lot of whale activity off shore and I tried to get some video. Today was our regular pool attendant, Alexi's day off. We found out it was Luis', the activity director, birthday. There were only three of us playing and we all won a game.

We stayed by the pool until about four. Gerri went back to the room and I went to the lobby to arrange transportation to the airport for our flight homeMonday.We had reservations for dinner at La Panga in downtown San Jose. We got a taxi at about six thirty. The Taxi was only able to take us within about 5 blocks of the restaurant. There was a big civic function going on. Police and military everywhere and the streets blocked in all directions for three blocks. There were grandstands set up and speeches going on from a stage. We also saw a military marching band.

The LA Panga Restaurant didn't look like much from the outside. Once going through the door it opened into a large courtyard with a second even larger one beyond that. The courtyards were nicely

landscaped. Our waiter told us the restaurant had been there for 165 years. We had a three course meal starting with tortilla soup. For an entree Gerri had Talapia filet over mashed potatoes and I had flank steak fajitas. Dessert was one of the best Flans we ever had.

When we walked back to get a taxi to the resort, the speeches were still going on. A policeman flagged us a taxi and we were on the way. We shared the taxi with a couple from Los Angeles who were staying at the Pamillia. We never realized how far off the highway the Palmilla is. It was dark but it seemed like the grounds were very plush.

Back at the Club Regina some computer time wrapped up the evening.
