After the tournament, a huge party was held for all the pickleball volunteers, players, families and friends. It was held at Mercadito Zanca, which is a large food court that offers a variety of food from small restaurant stalls that operate out of shipping containers. You can purchase tequila, beer, cocktails, icecream, Italian, Japanese, and a variety of Mexican dishes, to name a few. The rock band Polar played and we danced our butts off! What a great party!
This past weekend, Emanuel, our pickleball coach/mentor/friend, hosted an International Pickleball Tournament. It was well attended by players and watchers. Athletes from Canada, the USA, Peru, and Mexico came out to play. A few of us that play pickleball in Zihua helped Emanuel out by volunteering at various duties. I was one of many court monitors, and both Hoss and I work as line judges in the finals. The tourney was a successful three day event full of laughter, friendship and intense competition. A whole lot of talent showed up, and the games were amazing to watch! We are already looking forward to next year's tournament!
Our dear friends from home have come to check out Zihua. We had a fun evening out!
Another fun day with friends from home. Pork chops on the barbeque and conversation around the pool.
With the arrival of our dear friends Gerard and Tracey, and Don and Irene, we headed out El Rincon del Bombero restaurant for a delicious barbecue meal.
Once again we brought in the new year with great friends, food, and merriment! We started off at our place with a Chinese food and drinks, then continued on to the waterfront to a bar/restaurant called Daniel's, then headed to Curtis and Linda's place to watch the fireworks. Another wonderful New Year's Eve!
