We started our day with a morning walk on the beach. The waves were quite impressive this morning, the sea appeared quite angry as the waves pounded the shore. From the distance we could see big black clouds and sections of rain so we weren’t sure what the day would bring.
As usual the only creatures we saw were some birds and crabs like this big fellow. We did disturb him and he went scampering off into the surf.
After cleaning up we headed out to the bakery. Our usual bakery was closed so we went to Panaderia Pedasi owned by Lupe Claros. Her coffee and cakes were delicious. I also left my pocketbook there, containing passports, money, credit cards. We were 20 minutes down the road when I realized I forgot my np bag. We drove back and Lupe had put it behind the counter. So very honest people. We also met an ex-pat Thomas who told me they started a writing group there. Now that’s something I’d be interested in since this blog is the first writing I’ve done in years and feel very stale.
at long last pocketbook in hand we drove on to Las Tablas and Playa El Uverita. Although this beach is not as beautiful as ours, the water is calmer and gentler for my sissy and I. I don’t know if Bruce and Stan would like it as much though because it didn’t seem to be good for boogie boarding. We met a man from Germany and asked about houses to rent. A realtor came and showed us three places that were absolutely horrible. House hunters International it was not. In fact we all agreed that they would have to pay us to live there. So we will have to do further research if this is a place to settle.
On our drive back we had to stop for a cattle herding on the road. We stopped for an afternoon snack of ceviche, did a little food shopping in Las Tablas and headed on down the road to Pedasi. I wanted to get back for the sunset and a dip in the pool.
Bruce smoked his cigar by the pool while we watched the sunset. I did take a walk down on the beach to capture the brilliance of the sky. It should be a beautiful day tomorrow.
