I went for lunch with the ladies who live in the condo below me and I went for a sunset sail with Carl and some of his friends.
The ladies below me are Susan and Chris, a lovely retired couple. Yes, they are both ladies, lesbians. But both were once married to men. Interesting. Chris was a lawyer. She's nice, but quirky. Susan makes me think of my neighbour at home, also Susan. Both Susans are smart and kind and positive, with a great sense of humour. They also both have brown hair despite being in their sixties and a similar hair cut even!
We ate at a "cocina economica" "economical food/kitchen". Basically, we ate in the living room of someone's house. When we asked about a menu item, we were invited to look at the food in the pot on the stove in the kitchen! For about $7 each, we each had soup, juice, corn chips and hot sauce, and a generous portion of meat and rice and beans. Yum!
This afternoon/evening I went on a sunset catamaran cruise with Carl and some of his friends. It was really nice! Mostly we travelled using the wind. We sailed in front of town and along the south shore, past the Blue Angel. They served us juice/pop (or booze if you paid a little extra), chicken wings, little sandwiches, and corn chips/salsa/guacamole. The captain said to throw our chicken bones overboard cause the fish like it. Although it was the equivalent of throwing an apple core into the bush, it felt very weird to do that. (I was kindof hoping it would attract jaws!) My favourite part was sailing in the fading light and dark after sunset. Mesmerizing!Photos
