Happy Birthday Murielle!!! Saturday was her birthday, so Miki, Jill, Steve and Robin went first to watch a wonderful flamenco dance performance at the Cultural Centre.....

Seating was outside.....just at sunset.......

The dancers were wonderful, I am told....I was working at the bookstore....

Dancers from both Playa del Carmen and Cancun were part of the troup....

accompanied by live musicians..................

All the dancers on stage...................

for the finale.....just amazing.....! Pictures courtesy of the birthday girl herself!!

Then it was on to Cantina Habarnero's for supper and the Blues Boyz.....

the food was good, the company fun, and the music fabulous......

even a pic of your trusty bloggers........

The Girlz......what a fun night and celebration for Murielle's special day!

Murielle and Miki jiving on the street - where most of the fun dancing ends up....

and once again, a shot of the Blues Boyz with that fabulous sax player....!!!! Happy Birthday Murielle!

the bookstore....

busy night at the bookstore and in the square......

all the wee kids are circulating singing their Guadalupe songs and collecting money for the church which is then distributed to the poor families of PM..most of whom are the same kids....!

I can't say no to any of them, either here or at home, as they go through our subdivision in the evenings.......

last night there was music all evening and at 6:30 pm all the Christmas lights were turned on .....this is the nativity in the gazebo....

the main big tree, which they decorate on it's side and then turn upright!!!

a seniors choir with a few kids sang carols in both languages.....

it is a fine tree again this year...

the little ruin, which is actually a fountain, is also decorated.....

Daf got her Nana hit too, while she babysat this 5 month old beauty while her Mom shopped...

the scene across the square from the bookstore - thanks to Jill for taking the lights shots....!
