Today, October 31st we went to a function. Loved the afternoon timing and we wanted to check out this restaurant.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

It was put on as a fund raiser by long time friends Carol and Bill who have started and run this Mazatlan Animal Rescue. They receive no grants from anyone. It is run on donations only.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

We love our twins so much.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

They had some pets available for adoption plus a large well run raffle.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

The drinks were great and the food was awesome.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

First time I have heard Besame Mucho on the violin.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

The girls won the prize for best pet costume. A lovely gift certificate to the same restaurant.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Apparently this organization does a fundraiser like this every few months at this location. Be on the look out for the next event.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

We had each purchased raffle tickets and Colin put in all of his 8 tickets into this particular draw. I only put in the one ticket and I won. Great minds and all of that. The ornament is handmade and sort of looks like a weiner and was from Michael’s \u00a0Gallery ( one of my faves here in town ). First time I have ever seen skull shot glasses. What a great prize.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

I have to say that this was a really fun and special day out for us. Yes it was hot and humid but we had a blast!! And I had two very yummy margaritas – they make them perfectly here.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

We were having such a great time that we decided to splurge and take a pulmonia home instead of Didi.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Playing tourists in our new home.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Different view from street level.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Heading home. That is our white building in the middle.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

This wee one was trick or treating on the malecon.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Taken here in the city – yesterday, October 30th. I love how creative the Mexicans are.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

These two “similar” photos were taken last Thursday by our friends Pilar & Andres. They have fallen in love with the girls. The girls expressions are priceless.<\/p><\/div>\n

Just as I was about to publish my blog we heard some noise outside….at 6:00PM tonight two parades were scheduled. One was an OFF ROAD HALLOWEEN PARADE and the other was a ZOMBIE MOTORCYCLE RIDERS event. both parades were throwing candy to the onlookers along the malecon. \u00a0I decided to not do a video, too many photos already in this post. But once again, we have had a very special \u00a0& exciting day. How can we not help but love living here.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Hope you all had a fun Halloween Day!.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Tomorrow will yet be another new adventure for us. And of course more blogs will be involved.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

PS. This is my 2nd blog post today.<\/p>\n
