La Penita - December 30 - January 3, 2016

We had a very quiet day on Friday.  I am usually up between 6 and 6:30 and take my coffee to the Palapa and look out at the ocean.  I do my spanish lessons, meditate and write in my gratitude journal.  By the second cup of coffee, someone is usually up.  We had a big breakfast of eggs, chorizo and toast (fresh jalapeño bread we bought at the market).  We spent the rest of the day at the pool.  I read half a spy novel (Order to Kill - A Mitch Rapp story) and listened to tunes.  I tried swimming but the ribs are still too sore.  We had some left over pizza and guacamole for lunch and then more pool time.  Dinner at Avanti's and then Jan and I brought Bubs home while Robyn and Scott walked into two for ice cream.  We (ha ha - they) watched a movie.  As I said, quiet day - Perfect!

Saturday - Quiet morning.  Scott and I went to Hinde's at 1:30 to watch the Canada/US World Juniors Hockey game.  They actually closed at 2 pm to get ready for New Year's but let us stay to watch the game.  The fruit and vegetable truck came in the afternoon and we bought carrots, oranges, bananas, radishes, cucumbers, cantaloupe, apples (I am sure I am missing something) for a grand total of $8.  New Year's Eve was a blast - ate mac and cheese and chorizo in our condo and watched a movie (well the others did) - I was sleeping by 8:30.  It is tough doing nothing all day.

Sunday - Scott woke up not feeling well and then was really not well.  I walked into town and got some Treda (a Mexican miracle medication for the trots) and some electrolyte juices for Scott.  I made fresh squeezed orange juice. Delicious.  We had another quiet day.

Monday - Scott was feeling better.  Robyn, Scott and I walked into town to get some plumbing parts and some ice cream.  We spent the afternoon at the pool.  Scott and Robyn went for dinner to Avanti's on a date night and brought us back some pizza.  Jan and I watched Scarlett.  They both had the stuffed chicken which is amazing.

Tuesday - Scott left this morning to go back home - he has to work, but will be back next week.  Robyn, Jan, Scarlett and I went for breakfast at Irma's.  I finally got some Huevos Rancheros and fresh orange juice.  Bubs slept the whole time.  We had ice cream.  We came back and had a siesta - all of us!  We went for dinner to Hamberquesas Villareal (Ubaldo's daughter in law) for a shrimp burrito and crispy fries.  Our internet is finally working - I have a Sling Box at home which transfers our home TV signal to anywhere we have internet - literally we can watch whatever we want from home including things on the PVR.  We were able to watch the Batchelor last night!
