2020: Faro Blanco Early Mardi Gras

25 January 2020
No boat travel.

Today I became medicare eligible! When it is someone's birthday, the Lighthouse Grill offers a free entree to the celebrating person. (Proof of birthday required.) Today I had two choices for dinner - free dinner at the restaurant or free buffet at a dock party. At the restaurant, I could get the fresh catch of the day. At the Mardi Gras celebration, I had the choice of various New Orlean's style cuisine. Many of the planned Mardi Gras options did not appear on my low-carb, low-spice diet plan, so I opted for the restaurant choice. The yellow-tail snapper tasted amazing! I made a good choice!

Even though we did not partake of the feast on the docks, we did contribute to desserts, help with set up and return after dinner to join in the festivities. The party was a big success!  Lisa, "Rae of Sun", was in charge of the event. Ann jumped in and did a ton of work to make the party great.
