1-11 Were getting settled in now. We both slept better last night. The first night is always a learning curve, but we are struggling through it. You don’t need an alarm clock, the rooster next door gets me up.
We are getting ready for our first good morning beach walk. Morning is best if you are going to walk much down here. We have seen a few familiar faces so far, and more are showing up all the time. The bay is nice and warm and the water looks clean. We have had concerns over water pollution, but all looks good.
Town is a little quiet right now. There didn’t seem to be as much traffic downtown and not as many visitors yet. Times are thin down here also. Our economy has effected some things here, but life goes on for the locals. There always seems to be work for those willing to mix cement by hand or pack bricks up a couple of flights of stairs.
We went to the Mercado yesterday around 4 PM. Not the best time to go, but we only needed a few items, and hit the ATM. After fees, it looks like the exchange rate was about 137 Pesos to the dollar. That is some of the best exchange we have ever had down here.
We will probably start walking the hill at the south end of the beach early in the week. There is lots of construction going on up there. We want to check out what we saw started last year, and what appears to be more new houses and large time share under construction. It is changing the look of the landscape.
We will get some photos out soon. Judy got some great shots of some Pelicans last night down by the fishing boats. We ate at a little place by the basketball court. The basketball court is the center of activity downtown, and the fishermen pull their boats onto the beach right by it. We have seen several large sailfish and some yellowtail tuna carried away. Our plan is to get some fish this week. Love that Dorado!
That’s it for right now, the beach is calling, and we are so easily called away.
