Then for lunch we were going to go to go to Pollo Feliz but they were closed so we went to a taco stand. When we got on the plane I read then I watched AVP 2 with Griff till the TV came on.

After lunch John and I walked up the mountain for a flight. John launched but the wind was too strong for me to fly so I sat on launch for 3 hours before I had to walk down to get ready for dinner. We went to Eric's house for dinner where we had hotdog tacos as an appetizer and amazing enchiladas with green salsa for dinner. After we left I went to the passion flower gardens for poker I lost 200 pesos because I had 2 full houses and they had a better one.

Griffin day 58

Woke up and got a 10 minute flight. Then I went back up and got a great 40 minute flight. After I landed I got ready to go to poker at Shambala. We went at 5:30 and nobody was there so I went home to grab snacks when I got back we had enough people to start chipping people in and getting ready. We played until we met Alfonzo and his family at their house. We ate at Pollo Bollo and after we went back to poker. I ended up with 20 pesos more than I started with.

Griffin day 57

Woke up and went up the mountain to fly. John went and said that it was to active for me to go so I sat on launch for a couple hours John went to birthday mass for Alfonzo's grandson Alfonzo. After he got out I had almost launched but he wanted me to wait until he got to the beach so I let Alan who had gotten up top without passenger ahead of me to test the air. After him I went and had a 30 minute soaring flight. I only came down because Alan was buzzing me when I had no room to get out of his way. After my flight I got ready for the party. It was really awesome, we sat down and watched the kids do 3 pinatas and a ball box. Were served tacos, salsa, salad and cake. It was pretty crazy.

Alison Day 59 April 2 Monday

Yoga 10 Am with Gabriella last one so sad. Laid at Lagunita till the boys joined for a last lunch! Hung out on our beach and then got ready for dinner at Erik and Rosies! We walked up to Alans house where he gave Griffin tshirts for the club. Tried to see Aldo but saw Alicia and Aldito instead. Saying good bye is harder than I thought. We got to Eriks and Rosies sister and cousin were helping with dinner prep. The most delicious chicken enchiladas, hot dogs in tortillas and hot dogs were amazing!!! Loved the fruit juice with apples, strawberries and nuts too. Great time with all the family. I love watching Gally grow over the 2 months. Hung out with Alfonso's family on the street they had had a BBQ and got to visit with Alicia a little. Always a pleasure. I will miss her very much and can't believe we are down to one more day. Adios Amigos heading to packing land.

Alison Day 58 April 1 Sunday

April Fools Day!!!!! Didn't play any jokes we are lame. The day started with Ley, Isis, Saily and cousins setting up a restaurant on the beach for Holy week. Candy, beer and ceviche! It is neat to have but grateful I didn't have it the last 8 weeks.  Last day of Birria at Shambhala with Raymon and the family. Met a writer Alex doing an article on Verona for Air Canada and trying to do a piece for National Geo on Yelapa that would be amazing!!!!We played poker at Shambhala with Raymon, Jenny, Chris, Eduardo, Felipe and the boys. It was fun I left up! We met Alfonso and family at their house and walked to Pollo Bollo at 8:30. Got seated in a very crowded restaurant right away and talked for hours. It was so neat getting to know Berita and Cynthia his middle daughter. The boys sat with Sied and played gameboy and giggled. We all ate tons and we enjoyed every bite. I will miss Pollo Bollo alot. Erik was our server so that is always fun. Walked the Alfonso family home and rejoined the poker game at Shambhala and left mostly up again. John was over the smoke in his face while he dealt so we left early. Still amazes me how many people smoke cigs and weed and don't seem to realize the toll on their bodies. I hope some life lessons for the boys. Adios Amigos.
