Lunch On The Beach
It looks like we will be spending a couple of weeks in San Carlos in December. We are going to look after a dog and cat for some friends of ours that are returning to Canada for the holiday season.
This morning we were getting ready to head over there to get to know their dog better before she leaves. Roy decided to hose the car off before we left and when he went to turn the outdoor tap off, it broke right off. Needless to say water was gushing out of the pipe, so he quickly clamored up onto the roof via the storage bench and low wall and shut off the water at the tinaco, the water storage tank. He took the pieces and headed to a hardware shop and returned shortly with a new heavier duty one. He replaced it and this time used the ladder to get onto the roof and turned the water back on. No leaks, success.
The rest of the day went better.
We got to our friends house and played with the dog for awhile before heading off for his walk on the beach. It was a nice day so we all enjoyed the stroll along the beach. On our way back we stopped for lunch at La Palapa, an outdoor restaurant right on the beach, which specialises in Greek food. While we were waiting to order, someone stopped by our table to chat and mentioned that the place serves good burgers, so Roy and I both decided to order one. It has been a long time since we had a good burger, our friend ordered the shrimp. So much for Greek food, oh well next time. We did order an appetizer that was good though. Our food arrived with really good homemade french fries, that were done just right. I am not a big french fry eater; but these were good as were the burgers and shrimp. You don't usually get fresh, homemade fries in the restaurants here. A good lunch. We finished our walk, returned to her house and then we bid our goodbyes.
We stopped in to visit some other friends from Canada that are in one of the RV parks. They have been having problems with their dog being sick and we wanted to stop and see how he was doing. Thankfully he is recovering and seems to be doing well. After visiting for awhile we headed back home, taking the scenic route through the Miramar area of Guaymas.
I didn't take the camera, so no pictures today.
