Low Tide

The tide was especially low today, giving us a lot more beach!

I love shoals like these that have just a shimmer of water over them.

You can see how high the tide came today.

When I came in, Dale popped over so I could print some things for her and then we went to the El Velero restaurant so she could buy me a beer as a thank you.

Two beers were only 30 pesos! I covered the tip and also bought an empanada from a beach vendor. They were fresh out of the oven, still warm, and smelled heavenly. A pineapple one was just 20 pesos. The crust was flaky like pie and the filling was akin to pineapple jam. I hadn’t had much lunch, so it really hit the spot. I’m glad I took a chance on one and supported a local business!

Tomorrow is Dale’s last day here before she leaves for Gringoland. I will miss her. 🙁 I’m glad I’ve learned how to ride the bus because I can get to her door and back home again for a mere 36 pesos total. It’ll also be easy for her to meet me at the Mercado or Plazuela Machado. We’re not ready to say farewells just yet!

  1. We both forgot.

    The server said that 15 pesos for beer was their new special, so I don’t know if they still have the two for one.

    We wouldn’t have been able to have two beers each anyway.
