(Backup) Day 1

Wow, we didn’t wake up until 7:30! Threw on our exercise clothes. Dave ran, I walked my old running route. Took a lot longer to walk it! Fun to walk along the Malecón and see the usual outdoor morning activities here,  dog walkers, runners, walkers, men and boys fishing, Zumba class, exercise class, a yoga class.

 Dave passed me on the way back but waited for me on a corner. Then on our way back to our place it happened, my first fall in PV! And I did it big! At least all I got was a scrape on my ankle! Gotta watch our for the wet soapy sidewalks. They love to wash the sidewalks here. I was careful in the side walk but stepped off into the cobble stone street and with wet slippery bottoms of shoes I just went down!

Breakfast on our balcony, view from these lower level rooms have lost their views but still nice to have our own outside space. 

We met up with the group at Fedencios got a wonderful day on the beach :) fun to catch up with family, meet Iulia’s sister and her family, and also with our favorite waiters. Poor Juan had pericarditis earlier in the year but doing fine now. Met a lovely lady Sandra from Vancouver BC she has become my new beach friend who will be here when I return ( added this so I remember her name!) 

Dave and I walked around Gringo Gulch area and found a beautiful restaurant, La Capelle, made reservations for another night. 

A funeral was going on at the church, full mariachi band playing and singing, absolutely beautiful. 

Took a dip in our pool and visited with Ken and Joanne who we met last year. They are here for 2 months. Ken is a retired fireman from BC, they get 60 days of trip health insurance from his pension. They could go home and return and another 60 days coverage would start. 

We headed to beach to watch sunset and decided to see if we could get a table at La Palapa on the beach for dinner, we did! Have only had breakfast and lunch here.  Dinner was amazing, such a treat and with exchange rate a bargain! No pics of dinner as it was too dark. We shared a couple of appetizers, coconut shrimp and beet salad, I had a fish entree, Dave a chicken entree. 

Wandered around after dinner and ran into the Friday night South Side Suffle along B Badillo street where we listened to some great music and saw some art. Then called it a night, it had been a wonderful and full day :)
