We got up about 7 am on Tuesday and had a coffee and lounged around. Did a little unpacking of our purchases and then went for a long walk. We walked up to the foot bridge over to Guayabitos and down to the beach. We walked along the beach and stopped at La Hiucholitos for breakfast. I had huevos y chorizo (eggs and chorizo) and Jan had heuvos y tocino (eggs and bacon) - I had a beer - when in Mexico ... we walked back through the residential area of Guayabitos, over the foot bridge and back to our place. We hopped right into the pool. A little more unpacking and organizing, a cerveza, a rum and coke and it is early afternoon. I built our new baby Weber BBQ and we had BBQ chorizo and salad for dinner. Early night.
On Wednesday, I went for a long run along Guayabitos beach to the far end - probably too long as the run/walk took me about 90 minutes in the heat. First run here and didn't take a drink or money to buy a drink. My new water shoes worked great though and walked through the ocean frequently to cool down. Ubaldo's son Ernesto came over to help hang some hooks for us. We relaxed and sat in the sun and the shade most of the day - with a few dips in the pool. We went for dinner at Hamburguesas Villarreal (Ernesto's wife's place). We had a shrimp burger and a shrimp burrito with a coke and a Pacifico (which Ernesto went to the corner store to buy) - excellent and cost: about $10 all in. Quiet evening until ...
We had our first major thunder storm of the season on Wednesday night - nothing like the "boom" and lightning over the ocean of a tropical thunder storm. It rained hard. The power went out and we didn't sleep much because we didn't have the fans going (no power). We moved to the living room and slept on the couch because it was cooler with the patio doors open.
On Thursday, we woke up late (about 9:30) because we did not get much sleep in the night. Power was back on in our building but not in the other building or the building with the water pumps - no water. Oh well ...
We had a coffee and then headed out to the tiangus (the local farmer's market). It was smaller than when we are here in the winter and not much in the way of crafts or tourist things. We did have a tres leche (3 milk) cake - my favourite and a zanahorias cake (carrot). We then went for breakfast at Irma's (yup after dessert). We shared a shrimp omelet and a flan (yup another dessert) - both were delicious. We walked back through the tiangus and picked up a few kitchen items like a lime juicer, cutting board and scouring pads. The rest of the day was spent by and in the pool. WE had 5 large iguanas come visit us as well as Esther the cat. Ubaldo is a great source of information and spanish.
We had spaghetti and salad for dinner in the palapa and played yahtzee. The forecast is for more thunderstorms but it appears they keep getting pushed back a few days. We could get used to this life ... Early night again.
Maybe some pictures tomorrow ...
