Dancin' the night away

Last night we heard a sound check- "Bueno- si! Bueno-Si! Bueno-Si!" and saw that they were setting up a wedding reception just a few doors down from us. White tablecloths, a band, very chic! It was dark by then, so I couldn't get any pictures. The neighborhood was abuzz, and there seemed to be even more parties than usual. Carl and I stood out in our front patio area and listened to the music, danced (Shadow doesn't like us dancing) and generally had a great time. This is a very festive city.

The car should be ready tomorrow, but meanwhile we've been biking and walking and cabbing. One day we pulled onto our street in a cab, and said, "la amarillo", which means "the yellow". The cabbie pulled up and asked, "Como se dice amarillo en ingles?" How do you say yellow in english? I said yellow, and he repeated yellow, and Carl said, "Like ice!". And the cabbie cracked up. See, ice is hielo, and Carl always remembered it at first by saying it sound like yellow. (EE-AY-LO). Hmm.maybe you had to be there...

We cabbed it down to the beach a couple of times so that Shadow could have his swim, and did that again today. Kind of an expensive way to exercise your dog, but it had to be done. Anyway, gotta run, I have a Grey Cup Game to attend. GO STAMPS!!
