WE LOVE COMPANY

People on Inflatable Pigs Racing

Piggy Race

Patty's Pride


Yesterday (Saturday), Charlie and Joan arrived. We had lunch with them and Norm and Sue at Banana Cabana. After lunch, we headed back to our boat where we sat out on the back deck and enjoyed each other's company. It was just like the old days at Catalina Harbor in Cincinnati. We grilled dinner and had a nice long Happy Hour. It was a blast!

Today was even better. It started out with the Piggy Races at the Stuffed Pig. Each couple bet on the first race, 3 heats. I can't remember one of our pig's name, but the other two were Hamma Montana and Patty's Pride. There was one winner among us out of nine tries. My camera has not arrived yet. Sue took pictures and she told me she'd share them with me. So, when I get them, I'll add them to the blog. In between the pig races, they had people races. For $3 a person, you could bounce on an inflatable pig from the start line to the finish line. Sue got a couple pictures of that too.

We walked down to the Turtle Hospital and took their tour. First there was a slide show and then we toured the hospital. We saw the operating room and the emergency room. Then we saw the tanks with the recuperating turtles. It was amazing. Our guide Crystal was extremely animated and knowledgeable. It was well worth the time and money. The thing I liked the best about the turtles is that they eat jelly fish. They could eat them all as far as I am concerned. You should see some of the trash they have removed from the inside of turtles: fishing line, hooks, pens, shells, and all kinds of other trash. It's just amazing.

We visited for awhile on Norm and Sue's boat this afternoon and then went to the Fish Market for dinner. It's been a wonderful day! All of this eating reminds me about the thing they said at the AGLCA Rendezvous: "The first two phone calls after finishing the loop are to AA and Weight Watcher's." Tomorrow we are going to celebrate Norm's birthday. His real birthday is February 29th, but we don't have one of those this year.
