First weekend

On Saturday we ventured to the Pescaderia to buy some Corvina. It's not a terribly long walk, but in this heat and humidity it can feel like an eternity. We had to wait a bit, sweating the entire time, because the woman in the pescaderia was busy making ceviche. It was well worth the wait because the ceviche was delicious, filled with shrimp, Marlin and calamari. After leaving the pescadaria with ceviche and corvina in hand, we stop at the local food store called Mas X Menos (mas por menos, which is owned by Walmart) to get other ingredients for our dinner. We made ourselves a wonderful feast for dinner including some of the best corn on the cob and corvina. The fruits and produce here have been great, probably the largest corn kernels we've ever seen.



That night we went out on the town with Mellissa to meet one of her friends Tasha who also had her girls with her. We first met at Tsunami Sushi where we spotted one of our other neighbors working, hoping to make friends with him soon. After leaving Tsunami Sushi, we walked with all the ladies towards the beach to a bar called Ganesha. At Ganesha we sat on swings in their upstairs bar overlooking the ocean and one of the rivers. A rain storm came through while we were sitting there bringing a cool breeze and lightening that light up the entire beach in front of us. Mario, the bartender took very good care of us, feeding us shots most of the night.

We met a few locals, Mono and Popeye (monkey and po-pay-ay because one looked like a monkey and the other had large forearms.)

Sunday we spent the day recovering from our first night out on the town
This week we are hoping to get ourselves some bikes, pillows that don't just feel like cotton balls and an alarm clock.
