We had time to rest after our tour, dinner at Na Bolom was not until 9pm. We got there a little early and watched as everyone arrived. The house at Na Bolom is an old spanish style with many inner courtyards. I told Mimi that someday I want to live in a house like this. It is what I think of when I imagine a dream house. The largest courtyard was lit with hundreds of candles, there were over 50 in a large wrought iron stand in the shape of a heart. The tables were arranged as a large U with braziers of coals burning around the edge of the courtyard and pots of smoking incense filling the air with the distinctive smell of copal.

It was an eclectic crowd, people of all nationalities. There were many courses and a lot of time between them, lots of talking and even dancing during the dinner. I enjoyed the food but it wasn't the highlight of the evening. More interesting was the environment and the people we met. The european couple we had met earlier on the tour were there, Tanja & Jean-Philippe, and we enjoyed talking with them. It turned out they heading to the coast next and looking for a place to spend some time on the beach. We offered them our condo and they are going there for 4 nights.

A little before midnight we left and went to the central plaza thinking there would be a lot of fireworks and people. It was fairly empty with a few people selling hot ponche from steaming cauldrons, a big bonfire with some young people singing around it and a few small fireworks. We stayed awhile and then happily went home, it had been a long day.
