Hi everyone,
Joanne here! Lots of new stuff here...El Quenepo opened in Esperanza, as did Duffy's Esperanza...both are creative in their cuisine and getting raves. Beach Doggies and Siddhia both had "gallery night" last week, very well attended at both places...lots of creative work to be seen.
A no smoking ban went into effect on March 2...lots of controversy...no one seems to know when or where you can smoke anymore.
February school vacation week was extremely busy. The hardest thing being that the vehicles for rent are gettingt bigger and bigger and there is less and less room to park, they take more gas and the roads are no wider. I don't quite get the logic.
At any rate the weather is sensational...cool breezes, warm
days.
Thanks for reading and have a great visit!
Jim & Joanne
