Tonight’s Best Bet

Singer & Performer Roberto Curiel Plays Hinde & Jaimes

Singer Roberto Curiel belts out Mexican favoritas at Hinde and Jaimes this evening.

He is an excellent singer and performer and not to be missed on your visit to the area.

We predict big things for this entertainer and suspect he Hill be playing larger venues in larger areas soon.

If you have never heard traditional Mexican songs performed by a professional, then come on down to Hinde and Jaimes and be amazed.

A huge bonus is that Fridays are Hinde’s Cilli Relleno Nights. Come at 6 for dinner and 7 for the entertainment.

RETURNING TO WASHINGTON STATE – Needs Dog crate etc
Sadly I must return to Washington State. When I made the decision to move to beautiful Jaltemba Bay last year, I knew I wanted to make my home here. So I packed up a few of my treasures and my beautiful dog and my sister drove me. But I must return and find a way to take my loyal dog and a few possessions I can not bear to leave behind.
I am in desperate need of a 28" dog crate. The airlines require the hard plastic carriers with the wire door in front. If anybody has one they would like to sell to me I would be very grateful. Or if anyone knows where I can purchase a new one, please let me know.
Also if anyone driving to Northern Oregon, Washington, or the Vancouver area, has room for a tote or two I would gladly pay for the room and help. They would only contain a few small household items and books. I can be contacted at djslevel1@yahoo.com
Thank You For You Help
Debbie

 


Dia de la Candelaria February 2nd


Dia de la Candelaria or Candlemas is a Christian celebration that marks the end of the Christmas season in the Christian Calendar. The day, also known as Purification of the Virgin, is to commemorate the presentation of Boy Jesus to the Temple by his parents as was Jewish custom. While it also marks the day Mary was purified, this is currently de-emphasized by the church.

This is the last celebration of the Christmas season and a party is held to celebrate. The host is the one who found the baby Jesus ornament in the Three Kings cake on Dia de Los Reyes (Three Kings Day).  He or she is responsible for dressing the Baby Jesus in a Christening gown. (Afterwards the nativity scenes and all other decorations relating to Christmas are put away.)

A traditional Dia de la Candelaria dinner includes Tamales (corn bread filled with meats wrapped in corn husks) and Atole (a heated drink based on cornstarch and meal, water, cinnamon, vanilla and sometimes chocolate or fruit.)

Towns throughout Mexico differ in their celebrations. Some decorate the streets with lanterns, hold bullfights and fiestas. In many churches, candles, seeds and plants are blessed for the new year

HUMOR

submitted by Guenter Boehm

Two old guys, one 80 and one 87, were sitting on their usual park bench one morning.
The 87 year old had just finished his morning jog and wasn't even short of
breath.
The 80 year old was amazed at his friend's stamina and asked him what he
did to have so much energy.
The 87 year old said "Well, I eat rye bread every day. It keeps your energy
level high and you'll have great stamina with the ladies."
So, on the way home, the 80 year old stops at the bakery. As he was looking around, the lady asked if he needed any help. He said, "Do you have any rye bread?"
She said, "Yes, there's a whole shelf of it. Would you like some?"
He said, "I want 5 loaves.”
She said, "My goodness, 5 loaves...by the time you get to the 5th loaf, it'll be hard"

He replied, "I can't believe it, everybody in the world knows about this shit but me."


Entertainment Review


Singer Roberto Curiel Wows Them
Roberto Curiel played Hinde and Jaimes last night and had Mexican nationals and Gringo's alike singing along to the songs. Curiel is an excellent entertainer who plays for an with the audience. His beautiful voice and easy going demeanor make hi performance well worth attending
Tequila shooters were flowing and the most appreciative crowd applauded and whooped with every song. Curiel will be playing for a few more Friday Nights at Hinde and Jaimes - Keep posted.
