Skipped our usual run today because we had a hike scheduled today with Sylvie, Sylvies Power Walk to the cross on the hill. After a breakfast papaya, pineapple, banana, yogurt and granola we headed off to meet Sylvie at 9:00. 2 other couples joined us, one from ....you guessed it Vancouver island the other from Seattle. Sylvie has lived in PV for 17 years, she is originally from.....surprise here... Vancouver! She has been leading hiking tours for 4 years and plays in a band called The Zippers, ( Kitty, she worked at the zip line we did several years ago). Along the way we stopped and sampled homemade candy, she pointed out landmarks and had lots of stories and facts. Sylvie is a true animal lover and has made friends with all the dogs along the way, bringing treats for them, usually home made liver treats. We all had lunch together after the hike. Chatting with the couple from Seattle found out they watch Washington Grown!!!! Said they love it! Small world.
Back to the villa for swim and sun. Then in for the first PV storm we have ever seen, spectacular!
We have heard about the storms here, wow! even Denise our host said this was much more intense than most. Huge thunder, lightening, scary loud, total down power and lost power. When it let up we headed to dinner, rivers of water everywhere.
Had dinner at Cafe de Olla, ran into Mark, the man we met first night, he was wearing a cast, broke his arm yesterday, poor guy:( somehow got pulled down in the surf, not a fun way to start your vacation:(
It was a great day!
Thanks for all the posts! Wish we were there with you. Just booked mine and Andy's plane tickets for 12/13-22/15. Will your place be able to accommodate us?
