Up for another glorious sunrise.

We walked into town to say goodbye to Brother #3 & L (with their sad pouty faces on).

We snagged a cab to Mango Cafe.

I chose the eggs bennie on chia leaves, mushrooms and curry hollandaise.

D had the Stuffed Pobalno Chili. Everything was absolutely excellent as always.

We made it for the last 20 minutes of church.

We strolled home.

I headed out for a last opportunity of beachcombing.

It was a hot one as the clouds had subsided as well as the breeze.

So we conserved our energy and simply hung out for the rest of the day at Luna d’ Miel.

Me, showing off my tan (and my wrinkly neck).

We packed for our morning departure and strolled into Centro for our progressive dinner:

Our fist appetizer was a shared Bimbo Dog.

Next course was a shared order of Coconut Shrimp & Dos Xs at Miminoes.

We were fascinated by these two little girls that we could see from our seats. They were apparently fishing with a piece of fishing line.

Our next stop was Bally Hoo for a shared Pasta Marinera, margaritas and wine.

 

We caught one last glorious sunset and then headed to the square for Churros.

On the way home we grabbed Pizza from Suny’s for the next day. We shared a lovely bottle of Camenere with the stars and waves. We had a fabulous holidays and it was so leisurely we kept saying: “We’re still here!”

Save

Fabulous sunrise this morning.

Another glorious sunrise where we worked up an appetite for a Isla ham & egg breakfast.

Relatively slim pickings while beachcombing for beach glass.

We walked to town for a pareo at Hortenzia’s.

Once a season, Hortenzia will leave the shop under a family members’ watchful eye, to join us with a couple of the grandkids on the beach.

As we prepared to hail a cab back to the airport strip, a couple of gals offered us a lift in their golf cart. It occurred to us that this would be a great way to meet more fellow travellers and save some cab money. We only rent for one day over a couple of weeks but we are committed to offering people a lift, just like the kindness that we received.

We headed home for nachos and beer.

D napped before sunset at Playa Sol with the gang and then dinner at Fredy’s.

We all had Fredy’s pork chops while Carol had Fredys’s shrimp and cousin Sandra the Mexican plate. Everybody loved their dinner.

For dessert we strolled Hidalgo and treated ourselves to Ferrero Roche ice cream cones.

We grabbed a taxi home for wine and waves.

Love never fails.

Sunrise, shelling and then met Jean and Rich for lunch at Tacos at Tumbras Loncheria.

D & Rich had Mexican omelettes,

Jean and I chicken and rice soup.

We visited Hortenzia and D had a play with the kids.

We walked from the airport strip to Centro and home again.

Finished my book in the sun and did some more beachcombing.

We watched the sunset from our place and what a sunset! We thought the first pic was terrific and then each stage was better and better.

Bro #3 & L picked us up en route to Basto’s Grill.

Chillies Relleno for me.

Hamburger Especiale for everyone else (ham, burger and arrcetta steak)! Everyone loved it.

We all visited Sergio for nightcap #1 before heading home for wine under the stars.

Love never fails.

No sunrise so I unconsciously decided to sleep until 9:30! D had already gotten the paper by the time I was up. Spent all day in the sun doing nothing. Did a lot of reading of “Girl on a Train”.

We walked into Centro for dinner. There was no sunset again.

We get such a kick out of the décor at La Lomita. We watched while all these magnolia blossoms were being painted onto the walls a couple of years ago.

I swear they have the best French fries. I don’t mean the best on Isla or the best in Mexico, I mean THE BEST fries I have ever tasted in my life anywhere!

We were dining at Sardinian Smile but were too early for Sylvia so we went to La Lomita for beer and fries. We were over the moon with Sardinian Smile (follow the link for the full feature).

We were home in time for wine & the stars.

Love never fails.

No sunrise to speak of but a wonderful morning routine returned.

D walked to town

while I went sea glass hunting. I made egg salad sandwiches for our breakfast. I had a nap as I hadn’t slept very well. It must have been the Kahlua night cap. D was in the hammock and I finished my book.

It was a lovely lazy day. I went shelling twice. D did a lot of research on places to stay in 2017.

A late shower and then some time on the front porch with Gloria & Huw.

We were heading to the Grill Night Buffet at Priviledge Aluxes, but stopped to have a peak in the graveyard en route .

We loved the décor, rib-eye, apps, desserts, etc.

D and I on the bottom left, my second cousin across from us, her husband beside us, Bro #3 and L at the opposite end of the table and new friends G & C.

A good time was had by all!
