Super busy at the bakery!!!!!
Went to Zen Den for a couple of beers and then to Vela Latina for some sushi
As we were sitting on the beach enjoying our meal a strange thing happened!
It started raining!!!!!
Lasted about an hour, latest in the dry season I have ever seen rain here!

Liane & Jeff made it in safe and sound, sat on the front porch and had a few beer to catch up
As we are sitting out there the neighbors decided it was a good night to set off fire works, 
scared the crap out of us!!!!
Speaking to Arno in the morning, they thought someone had been shot LMAO

Happy Friday the 13th!


So to all my friends and family that still read this blog...Please go to my Facebook page for the bakery ad give me a 5 star review!
Someone anonymously gave me a bad review and I lost a star...I wish that if people had the balls to give a bad review they had the balls to let us know who they are!!!!

Thanks!
