Savor San Pedro Block Party 2009

Erin and Jo left today. Unfortunately they didn’t get to enjoy Savor San Pedro – but we sure did.

After seeing them off we went home to get the decorations for the Pirates Pizza booth. Even though not everything made it on time I still managed to work our magic and win best decorated booth.

Overall the block party was a success, and there was lots to enjoy. A few favorites from the night seemed to be the seafood chowder and pizza at Pirates booth, coconut shrimp from Sweet Basil (had to line up for that one) and the Heart Throb ginger and cranberry mojitos from Black Orchid. All the booths seemed to be doing quite well, and FOTHS raised a lot of money for Saga. The entertainment was great too; there were lots of musicians, 2 fire shows, and the San Pedro Dance company did a few numbers. Luckily the rain held off till a bit later and did not last long – it was enough to make us all duck for cover under the big palapa and people’s tents.
