Happy Thanksgiving to all our friends.  We have so much to be thankful for (especially good health).
As I was about to get the doggies out for their morning constitutional I saw the makings of a nice sunrise so the camera came with us.  We also saw the hummers battling for supremacy at the feeder but it was difficult to get a decent shot in such a low-light situation.
We had to skip the Thanksgiving celebrations at Joe's Secret Garden today, even for both seatings, because we had already made a commitment to go to Guy & Jvonna's gig on the banks of the Yanuncay.  There was quite a crowd there and I was quite surprised that there were a lot of unfamiliar faces.  I guess that we have to get out more.. 
Everybody brought a plate of food and their own booze and there was more than enough to satisfy this crowd.  Music was provided by the unabashed Bohdi Kroll and virtually everyone was up dancing at some point or another.  Cristina also tagged up with another Colombian gal, Alejandra, who did not sit down all night (good batteries I guess) and was energetic in everything, even a belly-dance demonstration.
The weather cooperated and a good time was had by all.
A big THANK YOU to Guy and Jvonna for inviting us and for hosting such a great event in their palace grounds.

I hope you enjoy the photos.  That was the day's excitement,   Cheers, Al 

Colourful sunrise

A lovely start to a day to give Thanks

We have so much to be thankful for,.. like living here

A silhouette of Tom Thumb

A large crowd is already on hand as we arrive

We never expected to see this monster yard

The food plates just kept multiplying, more in the kitchen

This place is perfect for entertaining

This is just a portion of the yard

There is a lovely fire-pit area up the hill

Then you have the Rio Yanuncay meandering by

This left us drooling...  Lucky people...

I only tried maybe 10% of the dishes available, not enough room..

Cristina has different tastes

Partners will oblige

The dance floor begins to fill

Even the DJ gets into the act

Lovely day, lots of people, lots of fun

Posing is fun, great expressions

The dancing continues all day

A large crowd of people to enjoy the festivities

The owner of the house also owns this beauty

Finding music for a Karaoke offering

Cristina found another Colombiana in the crowd.

Posing for me a lot

Posing, and having fun

The last one, I promise
