Monday and Tuesday in Paradise

On Monday we did.....pause.....not much!

We walked down to Soriano's (five kms.away ) buy some more food. We grabbed a cab to get back as we had too much to carry (taxi cost is 50 pesos/$3.60).

Before we got to the store we stopped at an air conditioned cafe where I satisfied a craving for french fries and Caro had a cappuccino.

After we shopped in Soriano's I waited while Caro went a few blocks up to Walmart to pick up some tamitios. Upon her return she had a tough decision to make!!  ANOTHER paleta (see photo below).....OR a trip to Europe !!  She is really spending a lot on paletas !!  LOL

The paletas win!!!!

We enjoyed another awesome sunset before retiring to watch Netflix

On Tuesday Caro was up early to watch the naval personnel exercise on the beach and do zodiac training. I listened to podcasts.

Before lunch time we walked down the main road,,,,,

 .....to a place that sold fresh bolillos ( a 4 km round trip). I could have purchased other types of buns in OXXO but wanted the real thing. We returned by meandering the back streets, discovering a few more small stores that had things we may need in the future. Just as we were about to get back to OXXO (and the main street) Caro found a store selling paletas!!!! We had a mini crises because the store had no change for a 200 pesos bill ($14.20) so me, being the good guy I am, rushed over to OXXO and bought some chocolate bars in order to get the change in smaller bills. Mission accomplished. Another paleta for Caro and chocolate for me. If there was a Michoacana store near us it would do roaring business from Caro!

Caro spent the afternoon on the beach under an umbrella while I stayed either in the apartment or on the veranda. It was another day of 30 degrees (but quite windy at times).

During the afternoon on two occasions we saw a whale breaching and frolicking out in the bay. Unfortunately it was quite far way so we could really only see splashes and occasional glimpses of flukes.

When co-host Nestor showed up tonight we asked if there was any chance of staying two more weeks but the place is rented : (

Of course there is no connection (wink wink) between us asking Nestor about staying longer and Lisa sending us a photo of herself covered in snow after snowblowing for the third time since we left!!

Nestor delivering more potable water to us.

We actually talked to Nestor about staying two months next year. He suggested we make the decision by about June. The people beside us (you can see the fellow in the background of the photo above) are here for 45 days and are paying only about $28.50 night versus the $32.50 we are paying. What a great deal.
