Eating Like Kings!

---

Drizzling, cool and windy, which is a nice break from the heat and sun for a change. We eat some fruit and yogurt along with french toast for breakfast here at the condo.

We set out on a walk to downtown to have lunch at Le Chef, a little French cafe in downtown San Miguel we visited once before. It's cool outside but the rain holds off during our walk, it's a nice change not to be sweating. Le Chef is definitely one of the best restaurants on the Island. It's drizzling by time we arrive, so we sit outside on the sidewalk patio which is covered by an awning. We don't mind that our food takes a while, we never have time for a relaxing lunch like this back home since we're always on the run working. We watch people walking by and have some casual conversation, lapping up the atmosphere of town. Last time we came here we both ate way too much and felt overly full. Today we share a small shrimp, sun dried tomato and olive pizza and a large bowl of chicken tortilla soup. Both are fantastic!

We pick up a few groceries then head back to the condo. We watch some movies on tv and catch up on some work on the computer. Ian makes some wonderful fruit salad with fresh cantaloupe, honey dew melon and pineapple. The pineapple is the best one yet, perfectly ripe and very sweet.

I make my famous shrimp salad stuffed avacado salad, my Mom gave me the recipe years ago, although I've modified it to fit what I have on hand. Chopped up shrimps, green onions, red onions, tomatoes, mayo, ranch dressing, a little lime juice, salt and pepper stuffed into half an avacado on top of some lettuce. I chill them for a couple of hours. They are wonderful, but very large and filling, almost a meal on their own. Ian makes us each a small chicken sandwich to round out our dinner. We are pleasantly full and not overly stuffed.
