„Annual Cocktail Party & Gourmet Dinner at El Patio de Lajares on 13/08/2011.“

The annual Cocktail Party & Gourmet Dinner at El Patio de Lajares was, again, an exclusive event and a culinary experience. The scenery, the mouth-watering delicacies, the drinks and wines, and the service… it all came to harmony and made this evening unforgettable. Rainer was the only man standing in the kitchen and still managed to prepare the dishes on time for all those present. Hanna attended all tables with her love and care and let us feel welcome. A truly fine evening and a wonderful initiative… look at the pictures, enjoy them… and make sure you offer yourself a seat at the next occasion.

The bar/restaurant Boardriders was host to a splendid fashion show, held in the shopping centre "El Campanario". All participants were businesses, located in the centre. Find here a picture summary on the evening...

Orionids Meteor Shower - October 21, 22. The Orionids is an average shower producing about 20 meteors per hour at their peak. This shower usually peaks on the 21st, but it is highly irregular. A good show could be experienced on any morning from October 20 - 24, and some meteors may be seen any time from October 17 - 25. The nearly last quarter moon may hide some of the faintest meteors this year. Best viewing will be to the east after midnight. Be sure to find a dark location far from city lights.

Asteroid 2005 YU55 Flyby - November 8. An asteroid known as 2005 YU55 will make a close approach to the Earth. The large space rock, about 1,300 feet in diameter will pass closer than the Moon at 0.85 lunar distances. While it is not expected to pose a threat to the Earth, this extremely rare event presents a unique opportunity for amateur astronomers to observe the asteroid as it makes it closest approach to our planet. Many astronomy groups are planning to observe the event.

Asteroids this large only pass close to the Earth about every 30 years.


Casper's Bar - Corralejo: new floor with artificial grass.

News Article from "La Provincia":

El Casper's Bar es un local de chill out en Corralejo

laprovincia.es

Casper's Bar es un bar de cócteles belgas situado junto a la costa de Corralejo en Fuerteventura. Desde hace ya cinco años, su propietario, Pierre Houbrechts y su perro, un cocker spaniel llamado Casper, se asentaron en la isla y crearon lo que llaman un "bar chill out". El Casper's Bar es un lugar en el que disfrutar de un ambiente relajado y una atmósfera tranquila, con un decorado muy particular.

El Casper's cuenta con sillones cómodos adornados con cojines de colores, paredes coloridas y mesas que imitan los estilos de los jardines clásicos, pero es en el suelo donde se encuentra parte de su encanto. "Arena fuera, hierba dentro", bromea su dueño, porque parte del local tiene una base de césped, con sus mesas y encima y sus sillones alrededor, como una parte más del decorado.

Una particularidad que lo acerca a la tranquilidad, al ambiente chill out, pero que no lo aleja de la modernidad, por lo que todos los clientes tienen acceso gratuito a la conexión wi-fi que ofrecen dentro del local. Desde el Casper's hasta el mundo debería ser su lema, ¿te atreves a visitarles?
