| Happy Hour at Nico's @ Isla 33 |
It's my turn to write the weekly Notes from
Paradise.
For
those of you who don't know me, my people tell me that I am a
purebred Mexican low-rider. That's pretty cool. Don't you think? A
purebred Mexican low-rider. I think it sounds kinda sexy: low-rider.
But I really want to tell you about a fun thing that happened to me
when we were out for an evening ride in the golf cart.

| Happy Hour - 1/2 price appetizers and drink specials |
Last
Friday, we stopped at Isla 33 Resort & Villas complex, on the
eastern side of our island. There was a big sign at the entrance of Nico's @ Isla 33
Restaurant that said: Happy Hour. It looked like
there were a bunch of happy folks there, so we stopped to
investigate. There were two guys, Poyo & Payo, playing guitars
and singing good tunes.

| Luis - pouring a glass of wine |
There were lots of people chatting with
friends and sampling great-smelling appetizers.
There was a really
nice man, Luis, who poured a light-coloured liquid into
a big glass and handed it to the lady that I hang with. She seemed
to like it a lot. I think Luis poured her a second one later on.
My
people ordered something called Sliders. The three Sliders looked
like little hamburgers, the perfect size for a small dog like me. I
could smell cheddar cheese, bacon, Gouda, caramelized onions,
and other great stuff. They kept saying how good the Sliders
tasted. Unfortunately, I didn't get to try any of them, and it was hard not to drool all over my people's sandals.

| Sparky's Spanish-speaking friend, José Cauich |
But
the coolest thing was this nice man, by the name of José
Cauich, came over to me and started speaking my language: Spanish.
I
knew exactly what he was saying. “Acuestate.” Boom! I'm lying down.
“Sientate.” And now I'm sitting.
Easy, I get this guy. The man and woman that I have lived with for the last year and a half have always spoken another weird language, trying to get me to do stuff, but darn, it's hard.
First I have to figure out what they
mean, and then translate that into something I know how to do. I
just wish they would learn to speak Spanish to me. It would be so
much easier.
A lot of my friends get adopted by people who don't
speak Spanish, and I guess they all have the same problem.
Gotta
learn a new language, plus figure out the new people. It can be a
big headache for a little dog, even a special and sexy dog like me,
a purebred Mexican low-rider.
Personally,
I am not clear on this Happy Hour stuff. I think we were
there for more than an hour, and everyone was still happy. I
might see you there next time.
Hasta
Luego, mi amigos

Great post & adorable dog!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!! Is Sparky your next book? Hope so, seems to have lots to say!
Good morning Ann and Gail - Sparky is turning into a little comedian. We love the fuzzy little brat. He co-stars in the next book with Thomas the Cat. At the moment the title is: The Adventures of Thomas, Sparky & the pirate. Diego is working on the illustrations - but each one take up to ten hours of computer time. Thank you both for reading Sparky's post. Cheers L&L
Okay, two words to master. I can do that! Ha! That Sparky makes friends everywhere!
Enjoyed your post and humor!! Can't wait to read more...We missed him and you last winter...eventhough I looked for Sparky on the balcony when I would pass by in the morning walk to the cachibol court towards the southern part of the Isla. Our year is flying by again and it will be Isla time again soon. Talking about Isla 33, have you been to the top floor (terrace)? Is worth while!! Until the next time we meet.
