Travel and Scoff!: This and That...

I swear the longer we stay here on Isla the more right it feels...days drift into nights that give us so much pleasure. We have started a little routine. We go to Playa Norte in the mornings about 9:30am before it gets scorching, stay for a couple of hours, go for some lunch come back for a siesta and then a wander in the evenings for drinks first them try to decide from the enormous variety of restaurants where we will eat! Love that!

We had a power outage day before yesterday. It was out for a couple of hours starting about 5pm. We hung out in the apartment sitting outside watching people walk by with flashlights and the police were out in full force as well, slowly cruising the streets to make sure nothing bad was happening and of course it wasn't.

We walked down Hidalgo in the dark and saw many people sitting in bars and restaurants with candles and La Terraza which is a great place just down on the corner is on the second floor and everybody that was caught up there in the dark were hanging over the balcony laughing and pointing there torches down on Hidalgo laughing and saying "come on up its a party". Great atmosphere, the vendors outside there stores were still sitting in their chairs and playing tricks on people.

We walked by one place and I felt something at my feet and almost jumped out of my skin! I looked down and all I could see was a black furry thing which looked like it could be a small rat or huge spider. I screamed something and they all started laughing their heads off and one guy came over and picked it up and showed me it was a fake mouse on some string or something, scared the crap outa me..lol...

Here are some pics from the last couple of days....
