Life's a Beach | Expat Life in Playa del Carmen

Last night Per Langoe and Lena Bermann invited all of their friends to celebrate a truly momentous occasion: the 10th anniversary of Babe's Restaurant in Playa del Carmen. Without a doubt, Babe's is now practically synonimous with Playa del Carmen, a landmark restaurant flocked to by locals and visitors alike. In a city that sees restaurants come and go with the seasons, having not one but two successful locations is a real accomplishment, one that deserves great kuddos. Clearly, a great number of people agree as last night's party was packed with well-wishers eager to congratulate Per and Lena on their accomplishments. Rob and I were among their many customers and friends, there to share in the celebration and enjoy the great food, strong mohitos and fabulous music provided by DJ Patti, another member of Playa's unique Swedish contingent and girlfriend to Per and Lena's son Isaac.

As one would expect from Per and Lena, the party was fantastic! So many people turned up to share in the fun and DJ Patti kept the crowd dancing with favorite hits from the eighties. It was a wonderful night and it was obvious the positive impact that Babe's and it's proud owners have had on this community. Congratulations Per and Lena! We are looking forward to another 10 years of great food and great fun!
