Sue Didelot's Birthday!

We had a great Birthday celebration for Sue at the Playa Bonita Hotel/Restaurant. She got some flowers, margaritas and tequilla shots from our waiter. We all had a great time. Happy Birthday, Sue! May you have many more.
This is the view from the restaurant patio where we all had dinner.
This trio sang Las Mananitas (Happy Birthday) to her. And we danced.....
We walked from our RV sites to the Hotel/Restaurant and it was a nice walk. I took pictures along the way.
There were vendors along the way.....
These are all vendors standing around. Poor people, they are all trying to sell something.

This is the walkway entrance to the Hotel/Restaurant.
This is most of our group.....a couple may be missing. Earlier in the day, we had birthday cake and a couple of presents for Sue. She told me that she had such a nice birthday. She said most of her birthdays are pretty quiet days.
Mike Nicks had a couple of big boxes full of toothbrushes. I am not sure but I think he used to sell these. Anyway, he gave a lady that had a couple of kids some toothbrushes and then they all surrounded him. He just handed these to them and they were so happy. One little girl told me that she had never had a toothbrush. I felt so sorry for her so I went into our RV and got stuff I had for my granddaughters and handed them to her. They were spongebob toothpaste, hair barretts and other stuff for their hair. This was very touching for me. There was one little boy that told me, "I want something" but I told him I did not have anything for boys. We are so thankful that our children nor grandchildren have never had to go thru anything like this. These families are so poor.
The pelicans.....
This is one of the RV that was painted here. They did a great job!
We went to get some shopping done and on the way back, we were following Mike Nicks. Manuel and Richard were honking their horn at him and he got out of his truck and took out this stick! He did not know we were taking his picture! He is so very funny!
And we shop, and we shop, and we shop!


These guys are tired.....we are waiting for Sue, Mark, Lorraine and Chuck and I am taking pictures while we wait.
I just took pictures of children playing on the sidewalks as their moms work the shops. So cute. The little boy was excited after He saw that I had taken his picture.
They are having a good time.....
We went to see this RV who had this murial painted by one of the painters on the grounds here. Sue wanted to find out if he would be willing to teach her how to airbrush. She is a great artist but wants to learn airbrushing. Many motorhomes are having this type of work done.
