Happy Birthday to me!

Yesterday we went to the old downtown area for the first time. We caught the bus at the local Oxxo store and made our way over to the central market. Caro went only partially crazy there! She even found a type of fruit that she hasn't had since she was living in Mexico City so she immediately bought a bag full. The fruit has the consistency of a Bartlett Pear with a somewhat different taste.

There was another cruise ship in port. This one was a 42 night Southampton to Auckland cruise so the smallish downtown was filled with Brits. There wasn't,however, that much interesting to see (not even a central zocalo) so after  couple of hours we were on the bus back home.

Later on in the day we lazed around reading,listening to podcasts etc before we had another magnificent sunset while enjoying shrimp cocktail on the veranda.

 Today was my birthday. Thank you to everyone who remembered!

Caro needed to go back downtown to get some shoe repair work started so she went by herself. When it comes to shopping I can't last as long as she can! While she was shopping I completed a walk up the boulevard to the restaurant area. It was an hour long stroll and felt good to do. Caro has been doing her running and walking the same as at home however I haven't been as diligent.

Tonight to celebrate we walked to the restaurant I chose (about 1 1/2 km) where we had a decent meal with a stunning view of the ocean. The personnel there gave me a complimentary dessert which was very nice of them, I thought. One year ago today we were at Iguazu Falls in Argentina so it was going to be very hard to top that experience!

Since our walk back we have been sitting out on the veranda enjoying the ocean breeze listening to the waves crash on to shore. There must be as storm somewhere as the ocean is a bit angry today.

It was a wonderful birthday.
