Decisions, decisions decisions…

It had rained overnight again and when I got up it was still sprinkling though the sky looked brighter.
After a fruit cocktail breakfast by the pool again everyone was ready to enjoy the day. Decisions were difficult – pool? Ocean? Beach? Pool? Swim? Sun? Read? Swim? The decisions were too difficult for some of us so we did nothing.
Half way through the morning the ladies found out that right after lunch they could go get pampered and get they’re nails done. So after relaxing in the sun all morning we headed for town for lunch. I am enjoying the sea food (I always do) but it’s fresh and the way they cook it, is really delicious though I am still fighting something, so it doesn’t always stick around long.
At 1:00 pm the ladies started getting their nails done (about 45 min. each) so it was 6:00 before the last one got done just in time for supper.
The guys just hung out down town for a while or went back to the hotel and relaxed. I went to an internet cafĂ© and updated the blog. All of us who stayed in town took a taxi back to the hotel. These taxis are motorcycles with a bench seat on the front and a canvas roof. They cost us a whole dollar to travel back to the hotel. You couldn’t have more fun on a ride at the Carnival .
Dinner was at a restaurant on the board walk again, enjoying the local fair and a slower life before we go back to our busyness at home.
Believe it or not I might be starting to enjoy this. D

I love the pescado encolcado. Fish in coconut suace or the shrimp sauce as well. I think I ate shrimp at every meal so am stuffed for the year back in the old country. Atacames is a crazy place with competing music fromit seems a hundred bars and restaurants all playing their own music to drown out all others. So wild and crazy.
