It's Thursday and again I'm having a cup of coffee while writing this blog. We just came back from playa Chahue to see the sunrise. We left at 6:00 AM and sat on the beach. Lots of people exercising: jogging, yoga, stretching, walking on the beach. I went to the peer to see the locals fishing with home-made reels. Mary left for her morning walk.
Yesterday I went snorkeling and fishing first thing in the morning. Didn't catch anything but took a small video of a ray swimming under water. Got back to the villa and had a great breakfast that included eggs with chorizo and a great variety of fruits.
Jonathan, Nickolas & I went with Gavin and Shawn to the Copalita ruins. We walked through the museum and walked thorough ancient remains: a temple, a ball game building and a rock by the shore to aid the ancient peoples locate the town from the ocean. The path took us to an overlook by the cliffs where we could see where the Copalita river encounters the ocean. Apparently the configuration of the beach was greatly transformed by recent storms.
After leaving the museum we drove to the beach. Bleached-hair surfers sat on the hammock, played the guitar and played with their iPads. A lady had a stand where you could buy the dry clay from the river to make mud and apply it to your face for medicinal or healing purposes. The waves were great and we had a wonderful time standing at shoulder-depth and riding the waves.
Mary stayed at Villa Pacifico and watched Rebeca make a special salsa while sipping a delicious "Chelada" made with lime, ice and "Barrilito" beer.
Back at the villa, Rebeca made sandwiches and had chips with guacamole. We had refreshing drinks by the pool and finished the day with a delicious shrimp & beef shishkabob dinner.
