La Feria and Luna Blue Buffet Nights

As I have probably mentioned, before, I don’t go out much. Not being a drinker and leaning towards the shy side (believe it or not), I prefer to stay home with my angel and our offspring or go somewhere as a family unit. Last weekend, we decided to go to the annual Gran Feria (the fair). Of course, I forgot the camera. In any event, it was surprisingly big and full of things to do. A stage, in the center of the fairground, hosted a variety of acts which included bands, merengue dancers (girls in g-strings always interest me, no matter why style of dance it may be), and comedians. There was also the requisite Yucatecan dance troupe, which I believe passes for Quintana Roo culture. We played games of chance and the kids rode a merry-go-round, mini roller coaster and some other rides. I joined Aaron in the bumper cars, which were pretty hairy due to to noticeable lack of seatbelts. We chowed down on some tacos and fresh chorros.

We liked the fair, so much, that we plan a return trip, this weekend. Churros, g-strings and bumper cars. Can life get any better?

Well, yes it can. Last night, I did go out. My dear friends, Tony and Cheri, host a series of Jimmy Buffet nights at their hotel’s bar. The hotel being the Luna Blue.

Now, I am not a huge Jimmy Buffet fan, by any means. In fact, I prefer the sounds of dental instruments to Why Don’t We Get Drunk and Screw. However, I am a huge fan of T&C. Last night, there were some special people in town, and we decided to get together for some conversation and cheeseburgers (Tony’s cheeseburgers rock!). The thing is that I have met all of these people on the net, before I met them in person. Living in Playa and frequenting Playa forums, I have “met” many people in cyberspace. Some, I get to meet in person. While some are completely different than they present themselves on-line, others are exactly as advertised. The group I spent time with, last night, falls into the latter category. Genuinely nice and interesting, Melliedee, Red, Ginger and John, along with T&C, make for wonderful company. I could have spent hours more, chatting. Instead, I had to go tuck the kids in and get some sleep, myself. It has been a busy week.

If you get a chance, I highly recommend Jimmy Buffet Night. Nice, relaxed and the perfect way to spend a night in Playa. If you don’t like Jimmy, bring you IPOD. No one will judge you. Much. Wink

Edit: We went back to the fair with some friends. Here are some photos.
