Last Friday, everyone in our resort (a family with 2 kids, and 2 other couples and us) went on a 4-wheeling 'quad' tour. Brad and Tara (from Canada) own the resort and Brad loves to take people out on the quad tour. He arranges for the quads to be delivered here and depending on the tide, he takes groups out. We did it last year and enjoyed it so much we wanted to do it again but when we first arrived in early Feb. he was taking a group out the next day and since low tide was early, they had to leave at 7:00 AM and even then had to take the 'high' road back. We said we'd wait until the next time we were here so last Friday we were able to leave at noon (low tidish) and we were able to go on roads along the beach, fording a couple of rivers, cruising along dusty, bumpy roads where people had cattle ranches, arriving at Playa Coyote...a cool place that has a camp ground, restaurant on the beach, and very nice beach for swimming. We arrived, had a beer and placed our order to a late lunch, and then
drove UP over an 'interesting' trail (i.e.--bumpy...Jim kept saying lean toward the highside but that kept changing at each gully in the trail) up to a hill overlooking Coyote Beach. We arrived at the vista and had a good view across land and sea (Brad said we could see the curviture of the earth...Jim said he could see Hawaii - being from Kansas, we know the earth is flat so Hawaii was visible somewhere in the West). Anyway, it was nice and then we went back down and had a wonderful lunch. I took pictures of my whole red snapper and Brad has the skeleton on what was left of his.
Other than that, we just been enjoying walks on the beach and reading by the pool. We've have had some good meals--a new Japanese Sushi place opened up so close that we can walk from our resort (all other restaurants require a car to get to). It was the best sushi I've ever eaten!! We did a shrimp stirfry last night in our room with onions and peppers. The villa only comes with pots and pans and salt and pepper so we bought minimal provisions to last while
we've been here--olive oil, balsamic vinegar, foil, baggies, salad stuff, garlic and for seasoning, we thought we'd try a little package of seasoning called "Complete Seasoning". We've been using it on everything and is quite good.
We knew there were a lot of restaurants in town but I was surprised to hear Brad say there are now 80! Needless to say, it would take a long time to try them all! Prices are about what we would pay in the states and you pretty much get what you pay for.
