February 14th
On Valentines Day our Campo had a ‘pot luck’ party, margaritas and beer supplied by Maggie and Patti, managers of the park.
We’ve found a few people in the park who enjoy watching “Survivor”, so Gene (single elderly gentleman in the park) brings out his TV (he has a satelite) and we provide the food (fish fry one time, hot dogs another) and we have Happy Hour and watch Survivor. Don’t know what we’ll do when we’re back on the road????
February 15th
We went Clam Digging this morning. Didn’t get very many clams, but it was a 1st time experience for Michel. Actually - the guys did the digging - the gals just sat out and watched (supervised) and chatted.
March 16th - Mardi Gras
started today.We went to the Melecon in the evening for the “Burning of the Bad Humor” Celebration. What a deal that is. Here is a picture of the Bad Humor Dude hanging from the truck. All around him are fire crackers, and after a lengthy story (which was in Spanish and I didn‘t understand a word) they lit the fire crackers. They were popping and shooting out everywhere. As you can see the crowd stands just below. We were sitting up in a balcony - a safer place to be in my opinion. And that’s not all - after the fire crackers sizzled out they blew up the Bad Humor dude. Kaboom!!! Pieces of him flying all over the
place……. After all this noise - they began with the entertainment. Now that was awesome. There were singers and dancers in the most elaborate costumes. And of course all the dances and songs tell stories, I wish I understood. But it was wonderful to watch.
