PVCR-Day 8: I COULDN'T get my hands on a gun...

but I got the NEXT best thing! Hermanita (aka Lou, Loulou, Louise,my sister) gave me a pair of earplugs! They worked really well!  Either that or SOMEONE else got a hold of the rooster.😉  We barely heard him.

Those ear plugs worked a heck of a lot better than the mosquito netting. I felt cocooned under it, but I have MORE bites. Tis to be expected, and I am okay with that as long as whatever bit me does NOT lay eggs. GROSS EH?

Today was a total beach day, as you saw from my picture posting on FB.  Not missing the German bakery truck was OUR biggest challenge of the day.

We have been hanging out with Sara, the owner. She calls us her "Canadian Chicas Vivas", which means her "Wild Canadian Girls!"  Geez Louise! I would hate to see quiet Canadian girls; they must be quasi comatose.  It IS true that we are a bit lively, plus we are always arguing as only sisters can.  Besides, everyone loves Canadians.  Though again, as soon as anyone hears us speaking French, "Québec? Montreal?"  Then we have to give them a geography and history lesson, from 1755 to the present. LOL

We walked into Samara yesterday, to do a bit of shopping and join our Canadian Albertan neighbours in the Casita behind us, for supper.  The cutie red haired Swiss girl tending the shop told us it had  hit 39 degrees in town in the afternoon. We found it incredibly HOT yesterday, and we were by the water ALL day!  Tomorrow promises to be another scorcher.

I didn't do my job yesterday... walk Jojo.  I was just too tired, too lazy and it was too hot.  I understand now why life is at such a s...l...o...w...e...r  pace here. You just can't move as fast, nor accomplish AS many things.  I could be quite the SLOTH if I lived in Costa Rica.

It was our FIRST evening out AFTER DARK!!! IMAGINE!!!  AT our Italian restaurant, Lou called our waiter a "Fabio" lookalike, until we found out his name was Mateo.  It was a good meal, and such fun to be dining with Dave and Carole from Edmonton.  We had to be careful though, when it came to discussing politics. They liked STEPHEN HARPER!  Enough said!

On Lou's bill, she was incorrectly charged for two glasses of wine, and I too was charged incorrectly for one, that neither of us had ORDERED. We deduced that Mateo was either smarter or dumber than he looked! It all depends on how you look at it.  I gave him the benefit of the doubt ... an honest mistake. YOU CAN really get away with anything when you are young and handsome!

We had a marvelous walk back along the beach, which was virtually deserted. Dave and Carole went back to their patio for a nightcap, and I WENT SKINNY DIPPING in the Pacific.  It was almost a full moon, and Lou kept lookout.  IT WAS TOTALLY WONDERFUL!! Another item OFF my bucket list!!

Hasta mañana amigos!
