Philo's Bar is a local cruiser hangout. Philo, the owner and previous cruiser, is actively involved in community activities. He opens up the opportunity to cruisers and also other gringos living in the area. One of the recent fund raiser's we attended was "Amigos de La Cruz". This organization is actively involved in improving the beauty and condition of the village. We attended a dinner at Philo's along with a dance presentation by the local children.
Philos's Bar also had a Christmas gift program. Teresa, from Gyspys Palace, and I had the opportunity to help wrap presents for 400 gifts for the local children.
We spent Christmas Eve together with the cruisers at a pot luck appetizer party. It was outdoors, and of course it was in the 80's. We had all varieties of food. We had Christmas carols playing. We had a chance to meet many new friends.
Christmas Day afternoon was spent at Philo's Bar. The restaurant provided the turkey, while the cruisers and local gringos brought pot luck. I have never seen so many food items. We had music and dancing. In addition we had Santa Claus. Santa Claus came and distributed the 400 gifts we had previously wrapped. The local children in the village all came to stand in line to receive a gift. It was very moving.
We have been spending time with Ed and Annette, from Wind Song. While their boat remains in Mazatlan they have stayed at local hotels which we have had a chance to share their amenities. Steve and Teresa, from Gypsys Palace, has also been enjoying many of these activities.
La Cruz, has perfect weather at this time. The breeze comes up every day. We even had 2 days of rain during the night which was very unusual. I continue to kayak everyday, usually with my friend Pamela on Precious Metal. I am now training Angel to ride in the kayak. She is doing very well and wants to go everyday.
