The VW is back!

After being car-less for the last week, we have the VW back! We have a few more things to see and do before we head back home;
-Nopales, a mountain town
-Manialtipec Lagoon
-Manzanute and San Agustinillo beaches (side by side)
-Sport fishing (booked for Monday Jan 24th at 6:45)

As a special treat to myself, I had Adrian drop me off on the way to the beach at an esthetic place for a manicure! I've been growing my nails since my manicure in Calgary just before Christmas. I could communicate to the ladies what I wanted and they indicated it would be 120 pesos ($10.00). We all 3 did our best to figure out a few things to talk about, I opened up my Spanish / English dictionary and a few hand signals and pretty soon I knew Gloria and Rosie! Gloria has 3 kids, 1 boy 2 girls, boy was 33, others I didn't get :) Gloria wanted to know if i liked Oaxacan food and what I did, what my husband did etc. We won't be emailing each other when I leave, but we had a nice visit.

Today was hot, as usual, no one discusses the weather here, it is always the same, hot, frickin hot, sometimes stinkin hot. Humidity, yup some of that too..... :) Not complaining, simply commenting.

We hung out at Playa Carrizalillo with Frank and Mary, they don't usually go down to that beach as it is 167 steps to come back up, and they are steep steps. We ended the day by watching the sun go down at one of our favorite restaurants Guadua, rhymes with Ottawa. I had an interesting, but not to be duplicated by me ever again, drink. The spicy Tamarindo margarita. Adrian had a margarita on the rocks then a Green Iguana. Frank also had 2 green iguanas, and Mary had the Tamarindo Margarita, which was awesome!





We finished the day with a pretty darn good pizza from Mediterraneo.

Till Manana!
