Newsflash......yep.....this is about as headline as it gets......"Lorrie got stuck in the hammock" Yes....sad but true...the hook on the back of my bathing suit strap got caught in the strings of the hammock yesterday morning and I had to wait until I heard Lynda up and about in her room till I could call for help! As much as I'd like you to feel sorry for me I suspect that you're not going to have too much sympathy given that my "stuck" position was one of total relaxation :-)

Mitch and Viri are super busy getting ready for the full house they have booked for the 26th through the 2nd. In addition to the 8 rooms at Casa Caprice they also now have another little hotel that has 4 more rooms plus a camping area as well as a private house that can be rented either by the day or long term. Mitch has painted everything again and it looks amazing and Viri is tireless in the endless cleaning and preparing that is required for so many rooms.

Last night we all went out to Roberto's for dinner and to enjoy the Mexican Fiesta that includes several cultural dancers who do a great job and that Lynda has seen so many times she was able to do most of the dances for us right at our table as soon as the music started. All four of us ordered the Vacio (an Argentinian cut of beef that is a massive tenderloin grilled over the open coals to perfection)....Jared....if you're reading this....my guess is that your mouth is watering right about now :-) I'd been thinking about that meal for two years and it lived up to my memory of the last time I had it. They serve the Vacio with a sauce called Chimichurri that goes very well with the baked potato, grilled veggies, and garlic bread that are also sizzling on the hot cast iron platter that the meal is served on. It's definitely an overdose of meat so my guess is that I'm good for another two years. :-)

Today has been another lazy day and we're having leftover lazy cabbage rolls to go along with the theme of this lazy day.....gotta love life in Troncones!
