After a good laugh, we got up and went to a morning seminar on "Personal Defense using Pepper Spray". It was a really good and informative session. Outside, they did some demonstrations....
After the seminar, we had planned to have a Valentine's Day lunch with the other two couples that are here with us., and we walked back to the motor home. When we got there, we found "happy birthday" balloons on the motor home, and the lunch turned out to be a 'birthday lunch'. We ate lunch at a Mexican Restaurant appropriately named "Mi Amigo, Ricardo". Here are some pictures:
After lunch, we all returned to attend a presentation by the organizer of this rally, Nick Russell. Nick is a writer of RV and Travel books, and a periodical newspaper called the "Gypsy Journal". The title of the presentation was the same as one of his books.... "Highway History & Back Road Mystery". The book is a collection of special stories that Nick and his wife, Terry, uncover while traveling the back roads of the USA. It was a good presentation. Here's a picture of Nick making his presentation.
In the evening, we attended a combination of entertainment. It started with a pizza dinner, which was followed by a 'beauty contest'...... the contestants were RV'ing men in drag!! Nick Russell was the Master of Ceremony.
After the 'beauty' contest, which further visualized the term 'trailer trash', we were further entertained with a 'white elephant' auction. This turned out to be an auction of items that people had in their rigs that they no longer wanted. Dispite the fact that the items were mostly discards, there were some good bargains. However, none that we wanted!!
There was also a 50/50 drawing tonight as well as last night. Last night, the winners take was $310, and tonight it was $254. None of our group won either night.......... but there is one more tomorrow night!
