International Festival in San Luis, AZ

With some friends we drove to the bordertown of San Luis and enjoyed the 1st Annual International Festival. We had the most scrumptious steak tacos for only a dollar each! Yum...still thinking about them. And grazed and drank during the time we spent there.

The weather wasn't too cooperative. We were looking forward to all the music and dancers, but the rain made it difficult. The stages were really wet after a terribly nasty cloudburst. And you certainly couldn't be standing out in it with the beautiful wood guitars or all the electrical stuff some bands had...

But the mariachi band was wonderful...We danced to Elvis's "Hound Dog" played by the rock band setting up behind them. I guess we were the show; no one joined us in the street to dance. Guess I'm like my dad, can't pass up a good tune...Norman and I love the Mexican dancers. We missed the first group but the second one was absolutely terrific. Sorry, I didn't get a picture of them.We left as another cloudburst was about to put a damper on the doings. And topped off the jaunt with a half hour stop at the casino along the way, where I was the lone winner. Well, truth be told, I played some of it back, but still walked out with $10 more than when I went in.

Early to bed tonight...busy day tomorrow. We have a breakfast with about 200 geocachers...Then it's the block Super Bowl party...Gosh, sure glad we don't work anymore. I don't know how we'd fit it in.
