The Kentucky Derby - Akumal Style
Once again, the Lol Ha Beach Bar was the social scene of the the 133rd
running in the Kentucky Derby, won by Street Sense, under the historic palapa
roof. The crowd in Akumal was a little thinner than in previous years, but
those in attendance had a MMMMMaaahhhh-velllousss time.
While there wasn't very much style or fashion, Diane definitely came away as the
unofficial "Best Hat" decision over runner up, Jim.
