Maybe too much vinegar on her blue cheese salad or was it the 11€ price?

24€ or $24

Vlasta interrupting?

Mike & Susan met the 2 Brits at the resort on Guana Bay where they stayed the first week of their 3 week vacation.

Next to Alan are Bruce Johnson, the police chief of Round Lake Park IL, and his wife Deedee; oh yeah, that's Adrian putting plasticware on the table.

Dec 04: Did Alan really take a pic of Ray?

Ray stayed to take pics since Mike and the Brit each bought Ray a Carib. It looks like Ray interrupted their Baywatch lunch.

Dec 04: Say cheese for Ray.

We visited DK Gems 3 times and got great service: Vlasta got 2 rings and Ray got 4 Heineken beers.
