The domino Birthday Party

After dominoes tonight the hostess, Patty, trotted out a delicious tres leches birthday cake complete with candles and decorations saying Cumpleaños Susan. The assembled players sang "Happy Birthday," I made a wish and blew out the candles. It was a lovely surprise and, if the wish comes true, we will all be together again next year for another slice of cake and glass of wine! We also talked about getting our reading group going again next year; our first meeting will be on December 15 to discuss Octavio Paz. I have my assignment and will get right on it when I get home!

Tonight's lovely dessert and celebration follows breakfast this morning at Yuyo's again in El Paraiso. Marie and I took Helen and Linda for a seaside meal to thank them for putting us up for the few days that the disco was going full blast. The wind has come up and it was quite chilly but still beautiful sitting by the shore, watching the fishing boats come in. Helen and Linda return to Canada next Sunday until next season.
