La Cruz - January 18, 2015

Sundays are market days in La Cruz.  Today we walked to the market - it is about a 45 minute walk from our place in the hills.  We were starving so we went straight to the major food section on the wharf.  We had a Moroccan sandwich of roasted pork, paella, a chicken quesadilla (to die for), 2 big italian sandwiches (as a reminder: italian sausage, spicy italian sausage and roasted pork) and 4 fresh juices.  We then wandered the market but didn't buy anything else.  We saw some huge tuna at the fish market.  We stopped by the Big Italian Sandwich place on the way out for 3 more sandwiches to go (lunch tomorrow).

We spent the afternoon at the pool, had a few dirty monkeys at happy hour and then headed into town to Masala for dinner.  We hit four home runs.  Scott and I had tuna steak (best yet), Jan had herb crusted mahi mahi and Robyn had jumbo shrimp with a ginger sauce.  Cheesecake and creme brûlée for dessert and then we were off walking to the best new little place in La Cruz - La Ballena Blanca. They had a band again - actually 2 members of the 4 member band we saw there a few nights ago.  The place was hopping, the band was great, and the cheesecake, cervesas and margaritas were outstanding as well.  They closed the kitchen as we got there because they ran out of food - not in a bad way - there were just so many people - great problem to have.  The young ones running the place were so busy ad happy.  We stayed until 10:30 - whatttttttt? Probably sleep in tomorrow after such a late night.
Our tuna supper!
