Fun in the sun

This was far cheaper than buying six small beers for the same price. We chilled at the bungalow and chatted to patty who said the president was in town to discuss town issues as well as the noise that the local bars were making in the evening. After showering and getting ready we decided to go for some grub, this time we ...
