Sunday Feb 3 2013 - Packing and Chilli cook-off

Site C64... our site for the last few days at La Hacienda

Sunday Feb 3rd 2013
Today was our last day at La Hacienda, and although we were pretty well packed up from our trip to the dealer on Friday we still had some stuff to clean up and organize before leaving in the morning. So most of the day was spent saying goodbye to the people we had met at the resort, and phoning folks at

Site C58. We have booked it for Feb & Mar 2014

home and abroad in case we don’t have a good internet connection in Galveston. At 3pm the chilli cook-off started and there were about 20 different chillies to taste and choose a favourite. There was an amazing variety, from very spicy to mild and back to ‘blow your taste buds for six’!!!!

Even a couple of white chilies,  a vegetarian chilli and a chicken chilli. There was also a table of salads, sausages, snacks, desserts etc. At 5:30 the game started and much cheering, drinking and laughter. A great time. Our golfing buddies Chris and Donna won the ‘pool’ for the first quarter and the final. $75… not bad!!  And for those who notice the captions on the photos, YES we have booked to return to La Hacienda next Feb and March as mentioned earlier. But all we risk to lose is a small deposit if we cancel, so as space is limited and goes fast we decided it was a wise move. So friends and family... make some plans if you'd like to come see us. Of you don't fancy slumming it on our pull out couch, there are some lovely little cabins throughout the resort for rent at a reasonable price!!!! Hint hint, nudge nudge!!!
