Wow! Yesterday - December 29 - was the first anniversary of our opening Ola Lola's. It's hard to believe it's been a year already. It has been an amazing, wild, wonderful, crazy year. We love our new home. We love being here and living here and becoming part of the community, especially the community around Shacks and Jobos. This is truly a special place to live. We have made so many friends, some local, some just visiting. Now that surf and "tourist" season is starting back up, we're seeing "old friends" again, visitors who come to Shacks every year that we met last year. It's great recognizing faces and getting reacquainted.
Yesterday was also our wedding anniversary. Three years ago Elaine and I got married on a beach in Barbados. Who could have imagined the beach in Barbados would lead us to Shacks Beach in Puerto Rico?
We celebrated both anniversaries last night at Ola Lola's with cake and champagne. There are no pictures because we were just too busy beings hosts at our own anniversary party. But it was a GREAT party. Thanks to all our friends - regulars and first-timers - who shared the special evening with us.
As we begin a new year, we want to say "thank you" to all of you who have supported us this year, either by coming to visit, stopping by for a drink or two, or even just following our adventures on this blog. To all our friends who haven't made it down yet, thanks for just being there when we needed you.
It's been a wonderful first year!
John, Elaine, Amber, Jazz, and Chocolate
