Day 2

Decided to skip walk and run today and have leisurely morning and breakfast on balcony before heading to the Saturday Farmers market. We ran into Linda, Kylee at the market, they had just done the climb to the cross. We were impressed they could find it by themselves, but said Iulia was with them, she speaks Spanish so was able to ask locals for directions along the way. 

We bought a cinnamon roll to share and just looked around. Then Dave headed out to find somewhere to get his haircut and I headed back, well after shopping more at the market and buying a dress :) 

Dave returned with a fresh haircut then we were off for the walk to La Playita on the beach at Conchas Chinas. Had a lovely lunch with lovely views and killer margaritas! While there we kept hearing a noise, then noticed right behind us was a parrot. The waiter told us he belonged to the owner and is very friendly. Dave tried to get him to hop on his finger but just couldn’t get close enough.

We walked up the road that leads to Villa Patricia, right next door to the restaurant. Our friends will be staying there so we wanted to check out the way to get to it from the main road. After walking to the top where it meets the highway we decided to just hop on a bus back. It was the most packed bus we have been on, well maybe not, but we have never been the last ones on to have to hang on at the door! Had to hang on tight around the curves! 

Walked back to our place for some pool time. 

We walked down the Malecón to El Barracuda for dinner. Coconut Shrimp and Beach Sangria for me, fresh fish fillet and beer for Dave. 

Enjoyed the festive walk back.
