Elvis Visits Santa Fe

Apache Junction, AZ  High  70  Low 43

Friday was Luau time at the Santa Fe RV Park. Jim and I seldom go to the parties here in the park, but we decided this one might be a good time.

They had the party outside by the pool and the weather was perfect. The park provided everything for the party so all we had to do was show up.

Line up for dinner:

Dinner was pulled pork, with green beans, potatoes and salad. Well worth the wait in line.

After dinner was the entertainment – hula girls and guys telling us stories of the islands. (But no fire dancers).

Don Ho serenaded us with his famous Tiny Bubbles.

The Islanders had to entertain themselves so Pass the Banana teamed the men against the women. Of course, the women won two out of three.

(I really need to apologize for these pictures. My little ole point and shoot just doesn’t do a good job in the dark.)

  2. I played pass the orange as a teenager. Guess the banana is more tropical though. ;)

    p.s. I haven't forgotten your question on OpenID - I'm doing some work on it trying to come up with a simple explanation of what it is and how it works, o.k.
