First Night in Chelem...

Well our first night here and it was so lovely! Can't say enough about Karen from Casa Rosa, she picked us up at our house in Merdia.  Then took us to the Chedraui supermarket, where we stocked up on groceries etc.  Drove to Chelem, about 30-40 minutes and we were here!

Casa Rosa is so comfortable and Karen and Tony have put such lovely touches everywhere.  The apartment is light and bright with windows throughout to enjoy the gorgeous views of the Gulf of Mexico.  Right out our front door is the very large terrace facing the sea.  Lounging and swinging and anything you need right out your front door.  Small pool on the first floor when you walk in and a very cosy courtyard to sit and chat with your neighbors.  Which is what we did last night.  Met some lovely people and sat with drinks then we all walked down to La Playa Restaurant to have a really good meal.

We had the Casa Rosa special which is a whole fried fish with skewer of shrimp and vegetables, others had mostly fish and Hope had the Pasta La Vista, which was a garlicky cream chipotle sauce with mushrooms and shrimp...too die for.

Now I do have pics but Hope has to email them to me! I forgot camera..duh!  We walked home in the dark with our torches and Hope had on her miners light on her forehead to guide us, hysterical.  Came back and sat in the courtyard for a nightcap then off to bed.  This apartment is sooooo comfortable! The bed is wonderful and the breeze throughout the apartment is amazing! Slept like a baby...woke us this morning to the most beautiful sunrise and feeling very lucky to be here.  It is still cold and snowy in Seattle.

I can't imagine going back to that ever!  We will have to though...although at least when we get back it should be better weather..here are a couple of pics of terrace and courtyard and will post pics of dinner later...
