\"Little<\/a>

Little beach friend<\/p><\/div>\n

Today the morning is quite misty out with humidity sitting at an even 100%.\u00a0 It is still a bit cool with the temperature sitting at about 22C.\u00a0 The noise from the crashing surf has become quite gentle rather than sounding like a winter blizzard.\u00a0 Something tells me that it will be a cloudy day for us here.\u00a0 This is good as we don’t want to overdo the sun bathing right off the start.<\/p>\n

Our walk down the beach yesterday morning was relaxing in the sunshine.\u00a0 As we walked, Maureen was beginning to pick up seashells for her collection.\u00a0 I imagine that over the next three months it will become quite the collection that will need culling before we leave so that only the best get taken home.\u00a0 Of course, I was busy taking photos.\u00a0 This little guy, I mean he was little, decided that I was an interesting subject of study.\u00a0 He was busy scooting around until I took out the camera.\u00a0 Then, like any natural cold-blooded animal, he posed for a picture (or two).\u00a0 The beach is interesting.<\/p>\n

\"Maureen's<\/a>

At the end of our walk along the beach, we visited a couple from Nanaimo.\u00a0\u00a0 It was a good visit as she was an ESL teacher and SpecEd teacher in BC.\u00a0 He was also a teacher, basically teaching and administering a computer tech school.\u00a0 They are just about finished building a brand new bome on the second row of villas.\u00a0 We will be visiting them again, likely on Sunday.<\/p>\n

With that visit done, we walked back to our villa along the beach taking more photos and collecting a few more shells.\u00a0 Once back at the villa, it was time for a swim before setting to work making a pot of vegetable and noodle soup.\u00a0 Home cooking can’t be beat.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The afternoon was a time for reading, relaxing and just plain enjoying the fact that we were alive and well in Mexico.\u00a0 I guess you could call this “siesta” time without the sleeping part.\u00a0 Yes, we are starting to go native.<\/p>\n

In the late afternoon, it was time to again go walking, this time down the sandy lane in the opposite direction.\u00a0 Quite a ways down the lane, we came across another Canadian couple, from Ontario.\u00a0 Of course, we had to go in and have a chat and a beverage in order to be friendly.\u00a0 They have also been here for just a few days as well.\u00a0 They drove down and so have their car with them.\u00a0 By the time we finished our “getting to know each other” chat, it was dark.\u00a0 We then walked back to our villa along the lane which had street lights.\u00a0 Back home, it was time to eat a bit of supper, check out the news, weather and sports.\u00a0 I listened to the last period of a hockey game for a while, then joined Maureen in playing some on-line bridge.\u00a0 And that ended our day.\u00a0 It’s a tough life.<\/p>\n
