On Sunday, March 17th, we participated in the Canoa Beach Crawl, a fundraiser in support of a local private school. After years of observation, many of the expats have concluded that they can’t do much for the poorly funded public schools here so about 10 years ago, one older expat, Jimmy Dean, was the driving force to start a private school for local children. Because many local families don’t have a lot of extra money, the school is heavily supported by the expats in the area.
At 3 pm, about 40 of us started with rum punch and empanadas at the Coconut Hotel on the beach about 1 km south of Canoa. Then we moved along the beach to the Canoa Suites for more rum punch and pasta salad. From there we walked to Canoa’s Wonderland for rum punch and appetizers provided by the Charly Bar. We also had mass participation in a few short games with water balloons etc. Next it was on to the Coco Loco for more rum punch and more appetizers. Finally we ended at the Surf Shak for rum punch and cake. Outside the ladies deemed it appropriate to do their gorilla dance or something. Finally, inside the tables were cleared away and we danced the night away until about 8:30 when most of us went home to bed. There were a few sore heads the next morning.
