Should you ever make a visit to Boca Chica hopefully also granting us at Playa Vista the honour of your presence, we would then like to take the opportunity to pre-introduce a recent acquisition who helps us out especially at the busier times of the week. Carlos is his name but very commonly called “Flaco”, a nickname accurately translateable as “Slim”. Slim he is indeed and easily tall enough to make it into most basketball teams although we have tended to keep him busy enough to keep him off the court. We are very pleased to see him enthusiastically and politely helping out in most departments where he lends his helping hands and on top of it all his English is coming along all the time, so if Spanish is not one of your strengths and you are lounging around enjoying the sun and local views then we know he would be only too pleased to exchange a few friendly words with you.
Hasta La Playa Vista… Baby ! (as our motto goes)
Meanwhile seven years later:
Unfortunately in spite of our best wishes and endeavours over time Flaco could not resist the urges of his ego. We tried on numerous occasions to get him to consider the grander scheme of things rather than constant ego gratification but he would not listen attentively. His ego continued to rule his roost even some time later after gaining a very good employment position at the Hamaca Hotel. The hotel also had to ask him to pursue a future elsewhere.
