Architecture, Ice cream Parlours, More Mural, and new mouths we feed :)

Yesterday after breakfast we went to the beach for an hour or so. We are so spoiled now to live so close to the ocean that we can say... hey lets go hang out for an hour on the beach..

Then that night we had dinner in a building that was built in the 16th century. The architecture and the ornamentation were outrageous!

The topper on the cake was the meal was incredible and only $40 with tip.

Still working on the mural..

Saw this and cracked up... Kentucky Fried Chicken is also here. Kid playlands are very popular in many eating establishments, even some more upscale places.... but Chickyland?!?! lol

We looked at places to start our Ice Cream Parlour (If we haven't told you, we are thinking of starting an old fashioned Ice Cream Parlour here). This is a top runner right now. Right next to a a cinema in a new strip mall:

I have two new friends I feed. One is a gecko. I named him(?) Geo. We have a symbiotic relationship. I raise my bedroom blinds at night. The light attracts flying pests and he sits on our screen and feasts!

I am watching him get chubby.

Lastly,

Meet Claude. Claude is my new street pup. He is very sweet and I try to feed him once a day. Thankfully he is now not so skinny you can see his ribs and hip bones so much.

Someday I hope to see him CHUBBY!

Dinner at the beach, More murals, and how to know when your Dog is a Junkie!

A few nights back we had a spectacular lightening show. Unfortunately I wasn't prepared with my better cameras so I didn't get any pictures. I will try to get some in the future.. It is amazing... a literal lacework of lightening across the sky!
When it settled into a steady rain and the loco gringos were not going to get fried by a bolt of lightening, we drove to the beach for dinner. We had Shrimp Ceviche (Ceviche de Camerone):

Ed had a Filette de Pesca con chiles (filet of fish with chiles):

And I had the Camerone de CoCo (coconut shrimp). It had a wonderful dipping sauce of coconut milk and pinapple with cream:

All was, as usual, mucho Yummy!

I have started a new wall mural. This is in the guest bedroom/office.

Day 1:

Ok so they must spike the doggie treats here with Crack. My dogs are exhibiting classic junkie signs!

Lethargy during the day....

They barely move...

Untillllllllllll.......

TREAT....hey did she say treat... I think she said treat... oh my god... a treat... get back... move... here mom.. treat.. treat... TREAT!!

Intervention?!?!

Ok and finally.. Hi.. I am still here behind the camera :)

Jurassic Park and Sunsets at the Beach

So tonight before we went to dinner, We stopped so that I could take pictures of the Iguanas that hang out on the walls by the entrance to our community. I call it Jurassic Park because the not so little guys look like shrunken dinos:

Then after dinner, Ed and I went to the beach. Ed had a nice swim and I took pictures:

And then the sun began to set:

Goodnight :)
