Swarm 25 - Feb. 2/17 Tabarka

Hello all, it has been a long time since we have gotten together for a restaurant swarm.

Date: Thursday, Feb. 2/17
Time: 1:00pm
Place: Tabarka Restaurant, Ajijic

Tabarka is located on Ramon Corona, 2 doors north of the LCS (Lake Chapala Society). There is plenty of parking on either Constitution or down on the waterfront in front of Maria Isabel.

This is a great opportunity for some of our new members to meet new friends and put a face to a name. I look forward to seeing some old friends there and meeting some new ones.

Please let me know ASAP if you can attend so I can advice Tabarka the numbers to expect.

Thanks CBob, for celebrating my birthday 2/2/45! put us down for two

I was just talking to David at lunchtime. He's busting his buns to make sure everything works. Poor guy.... he also moved his household at the same time.

Put me down for two please Bob.

It will be good to see ya Zed. It's been a while. I stopped by to give David a heads up and told him I would give him a better number on Friday, January 27th so if you are thinking of joining us please try to let me know before then. Gracias all.

I will be giving David an estimated head count on Friday so if you are thinking of coming try to let me know before then.

Change my two to one.

Its just so so hard to beat the fashion statement of Beige shorts, Beige fishing shirt and beige socks with a set of pirma sandles for an expat. I could dress up with a Hawaii wild pattern fishing shirt to add a little color.   Funny I was recently in Columbia and the young locals thought my outfit was quite different. I had some fun talking to them in my Spanglish.  One nice but picky girl couldn't believe I would wear such stuff shaking her head as she spoke.   Its nice to be old and not give a shit other than to be comfortable.

I wish you'd told me earlier that you were going to dress up for he Swarm.

It's north of here a bit. Between British and Alberta.

You know The Lower Mainland and "The big Island" are on the Lower West side of this place. And is you want to visit a very British city area one needs only to go to the Empress Hotel in Victoria for High Tee

"High Tee"?  Is that some kind of a golfing event?....for tall people?

Maybe Z was referring to "Spanish Columbia/Colombia/Columbia River/who knows"?

Cartegena. Worth the trip but very hot and humid but beautiful and the food was great inside the walls. No car needed if you stay in the walls. Not many Gringoes mostly Europa folks. Everybody asked us nicely about Trump. Fly Copa from Guadalajara to Panama than a short puddle jumper to Cartegena. No Customs/immigration in Panama if you are flying onward. I give it a 9 out of 10. Top notch food at a good price. 3000 pesos to USD so a cup of coffee on the street is 1000 pesos or 33 cents US. Lots of good shopping not all the same crap like many places. Very secure.

You guys are hilarious.

"High Tee". . .maybe one of those shirts that rides up under your armpits?

Nice report on Cartegena, Z, I've always wanted to go, now even more!

I thought High Tee was when you golfed while stoned. No?

lololol

My spelling is so bad that it took 24 hours (or just now) for me to figure out that when I posted tee, I should have written tea

Oh well I had a good laugh.

We love you Pete!
