It was a lazy day with beach walks, meeting more Canadians, and enjoying a hopping Saturday night at Adoquin, an area of Puerto very close to Playa Marinero, filled with shops, cafes, musicians, and street food vendors. We had drinks with more of Roger's friends (he seems to know just about everyone in this town) at a bar on Playa Marinero, then ate street food (tacos, tamales, and a flowery nasturtium drink) for dinner. We had another beautiful walk home along the beach if you don't count the nasty dive I took after tripping over some knob thing sticking up in the sidewalk. Luckily, I fell sideways first into a tin corrugated door (loud noise) and that broke my fall some what. No major damage. I know that in Mexico one must always watch one's step and I sure thought I was doing just that. Not sure how I missed seeing that hazard.

As Joe and Roger say, "Today we were too busy doing nothing to get anything done."
I honestly can't remember what all we did this day but do remember eating tacos at some little cafe on Playa Zicatela.
We spent the morning sitting on Zicatela Beach talking to people and watching the surf.
Almost forgot, we felt an earthquake last night about 10. The bed shook a bit, but we didn't think much of it. While visiting with others today we found out that lots of people ran out of their houses when they felt it.

Joe was up early and went with Roger to swim at Playa Carrizalillo then made the long walk home so he'd had plenty of exercise before I even got out of bed. We ate brunch at Cafecito. Today was a Horseshoe Tournament at the Split Coconut and Joe and Roger were a team. They didn't win but stayed in far longer than I thought they would. Everyone I met is here for three months or longer and come every year and seem to feel sorry for us that we are here for only a month. A couple we met from Idaho are closely related to people we know from Utah and we had another mutual friend. As always, it's a small world. The guys went out to eat dinner, I was content to have an evening
alone.

Still having fun I see
So sorry about your fall, Judy! Looks like fun times for all, though... very relaxing with all that beach action. Love the pix, as always.
