New Year's Eve 2011 & Our Anniversary

December 31, 2011

Tonight is New Year's Eve and as some of you know - the anniversary of the night Stef and I wed 28 years ago

 Happy Anniversary Stef!!!

Based on what I have been seeing and hearing in the news, there are many who are going to say good bye and good riddance to 2011 and bring in 2012 with a hearty welcome hoping for much better things to come. Fortunately for us, we were not really affected bad with all that happened in 2011, but do like the idea of a new year and a new start.

Anyway, we got a small group together to go to a great restaurant  that I found one night. It is called Fogo Brasil Rodizio located just as you go into downtown San Jose. Now, this place is pretty cool.  This is a Brazilian Steak House that has the largest salad bar that I have ever seen with everything from green salads to sushi and all kinds of breads and deserts. I could exist just on the salad bar alone! Then, they bring you so many different kinds of meat on a stick hot off the grill where they carve it right off for you. Mmmmmm it is so good!

The group consisted of our new neighbors Gary and Sherri  Brown who just bought a house here in Atenas and are from Mass. Then, we have our other neighbors who we have become friend with - Alan & Debbie Green, and Debbie's mother Billie. Alan is the yacht broker who I helped build him a website - remember? Don't forget if you are in the market for a nice yacht just contact Alan at:  Family Yacht Sales

Left to Right are: Debbie's mother Billie, Debbie Green, Stef, Your's Truly, Sherri Brown,

 Gary Brown, and Alan Green

The napkins - I think - were set up to look like birds in the glass - I think

This gives you an idea of what the meat looked like when it is cut right off the skewer and these guys were running around all over the restaurant with different types of meat - I loved it

This is our waiter Antonio who was always there to make sure we had everything we wanted.

All in All - everyone had a great time, great companionship, and great food - what else could you ask for.

Happy New Year Everyone!!!
