February 15, 2025 - Another Quiet Day

 Today was another relaxing day.  It started with a walk on the beach.  I'm more conscious now of time passing, which is bittersweet.  I'm treasuring the time here but am also looking forward to home.  I'm mostly feeling so lucky to be living a life I used to dream of.

I ran into my beach buddy Enrique and his perrito - who was off leash today and having the best time.  We talked about things I've done here as well as things I shouldn't miss before I leave.  I asked about the Botanical gardens and he highly recommended them.  He also suggested visiting a village not far away called San Jacinto, known for weaving the traditional hammocks.  Plus, I definitely want to go back to La Boquilla for seafood.  Plus, a bit of shopping in the Old City.

After my walk, I studied some Spanish, chatted with a couple of friends and enjoyed some balcony time.  Then, binged some Love is Blind.  Maggie and Skyler, I'm blaming you two for that!

I'm cooking tonight - shrimp, bok choy, mango and avocado salsa.  As much as I'm going to miss the great food delivery here, I am looking forward to getting back in the kitchen at home.  Please remind me of that in a few weeks when I'm whining about having to cook all the time.

Here are some photos.

Is there a better view from a couch?

There are a lot of things I'll miss but mostly, the view of the sea and the horizon.

So many shades of blue.

Before the tourists arrive.

In other news, they're working on repairing the pool deck on the roof of this hotel.  

But seem to be ignoring these huge broken windows.  I still have no clue how it happened.  That's about two stories worth of broken glass hanging there.

Always beautiful, always changing.

Lunch was leftovers - roasted beets, chicken, pomelo and blue cheese.  Yum!

Dinner with a beautiful sunset.
