Isla still has all the charm and friendly people. It is so great to come back home to my friends, Donna Jane, Mary Ann, Dani, Paco, Julie & Dean, Mark Carmita & Jim and all the friends we have in town. We have been relaxing and taking it easy all week.
Were eating very well. Great Ribs at Soggy Peso, love the Rolandi pasta special, Vivans salads and cuban sandwiches and potatoes to die for, fish tacos at Bally Hoo, breakfasts at the luncherias, cochinita, great BLT from Elements.
Drinks well Bruce is on NA beer but me I made a list of my favorites. Bloody Mary's at Soggy Peso, Mojitos at the Vive Cuban Resturant, Pina Colada at Villa Bella, Margarita's from Bally Hoo.
Picked up the golf cart and Moto. Bruce is like a big kid with his new toy, need anything he will jump at any chance to run get it for me. I am loving having our own cart. We did have a little problem with one wheel, drove to town and got it fixed for 200 pesos.
It is really hot here, but I am not complaining at all. We are on a 2 hour time difference so we have been rising really early with the sun and staying up reading each night. We spend most of our days cooling off in the pool.
We have the best caretakers. Donna is fabulous, Paco our gardner is the nicest guy, Luis our pool boy is just the cutet kid.
We came home from dinner and town to find the washer had overflowed and we had 6" of water in the laundry room. Luckily it is a stepdown and we spend about an hour bailing out water. I wonder what it is about water and my houses some karma for sure. When we finished Bruce took his shot and tossed and turned all night. Neither of us slept much. because it has been very hot so I had turned on the A/C to try to make him comfortable but no such luck.
We bought a double hammock from a vendor who came to the door. We had Paco come over and install Hammock hooks. After breakfast Bruce fell asleep in his new hammock for a couple hours how cool is that.
Spent some time at north beach and actually scored on pool lounge chairs at Queen Bar -- now we dont have to lug them back on the ferry --hooray
I have been using magic jack for US phone calls and works great and free calls so I can talk to the kids any time I want. This is the coolest thing ever.
