Colina Spay and Neuter Clinic Bingo at Nacho Daddy was good, broke my losing streak, and won the second game – Langostinos; here I come (again!) for vegetarian pasta. This weekend is full of great things to do and listen to, including: Tonight, Friday, is the Grand Opening of Tash… - So Much Entertainment in Puerto Vallarta
