End of May, June, First Half of July 2015 Part I


The last weekend in May was wall to wall wedding. The most elaborate in my experience. The civil ceremony followed by tapas and cocktails on Friday night; church wedding followed by an elaborate sit down dinner for a crowd of about 500 on Saturday; and then Mexican food, beer, and wine for about 200 on Sunday. Congratulations Euge and Toño!

For us the celebration extended one more day. On Monday evening, the bride's father and El Pajero, the town's go-to man for all things musical, came to the house. Lalo brought steak dinners from La Casona, our steak house and El Pajero brought his trumpet. What an evening!

Every night is date night, but we rarely get dressed up and go out.
