I've just received an email from my new friend at Old Town - those of you visiting over the coming weeks might be interested as it's something for the whole family.
'Thanks for asking about our well being here at Old Town. We were very fortunate to suffer very minor damage due to Charley & Frances and it looks like we will be spared from Ivan’s fury.
For the next 2 Sundays at Old Town we will have Latin Sundays from 2-6pm on the Main Stage. On the 19th it will be Grupo KDM performing Salsa & Merengue and on the 26th we have La Sonora de Orlando.
Thank you and we hope to see you around! Happy Anniversary!!!'
I've replied and said we'll be there but don't expect any merengue or salsa from us - unless the beer legs kick in!

You've missed the Latin themed ones but just check their website and you'll find out what's on when you are there.
It's usually rock or Latin themed music at Old Town anyway ... so if you feel the need to merengue/salsa/headbang/tap you feet(majority of us I'd guess!) whilst watching the world go by... this is the place for you.
This is where we are heading on New Years Eve - several reasons:
1. It's free
2. Free parking if needed
3. We can book a one night stay at a hotel (not the ones adjoining) and walk so everyone can drink.
4. Kids are welcome on the outside tables of the bars AND there is plenty for them to do ( rides/shops/haunted house etc).
5. Live bands
6. Don't have to get there at 9am
7. Good mix of locals and tourists
8. I can say Hi to my new email buddy who works there - missed her in Sept.
I'm going to dress up a little as it's New Year but I'm busy working out how to get my OV t-shirt or flag into the mix - considering buying a cheap version of one of those handbags that have pictures on - replace the image with the OV logo is my choice at the moment.

Our son and his girl friend have been going to salsa dance classes for the last few weeks, they really enjoy it. He did come home last night and say that the teacher had showed them what the class will be achieving by the end of the course of lessons, his comment was "he's having a laugh".[msnsmile2]
