La Penita - January 9, 2015

The day started with coffee.  I the heard the bread guy walking down the street yelling that he had bread for sale and bought 2 cinnamon bun type buns.  We went to the beach in the morning - we were the only people on the beach all morning - went for a swim in the ocean having to dodge the odd pelican floating nearby.  The ocean was quite warm.  We went for lunch at a street side taco place and had chicken tacos and a quesadilla.  I then went for a massage for one hour - cost $20 - while the ambience is not the same as those fancy massage places, the massage was great (see picture of the venue below).  Stopped at Hinde y Jaime's for a few shrimp tacos and a margarita, bought some hand made leather sandals for $18 and back to the Casita for a Mango Margarita party hosted by Bob and Linda.  Great time chatting with everyone.

Friday nights are Chile Relleno and karaoke nights at Hinde's.  The Chile Relleno's were amazing - i had to have a second order.  The entire Casita crew went for dinner including Bob and Linda.  We ate (a lot), drank(a lot), sang (a little), danced (a little) and had a lot of fun.  Our bill for the evening: $30!
