Day 100
DAY 100 AND WE DIDNT EVEN KNOW IT! We were in la la land.
Up at 9am we were ready for a big day of........nothing.
After buying groceries for lunch and comandering a few chairs and an umbrella we sat ourselves in the sand......and stayed there.
Bryce built sandcastles. Rich played in the waves and I read an entire book.
We also enjoyed the local delicacies. One is a drink of sweet milk and rum poured over ice. The other is fried alge balls served up right on the beach with lemon and sugar. I know they sound bad....but I swear they are amazing. We ate them for three days straight.
In the evening we headed back to the hotel looking forward to a cool shower.
There on the porch....were Chris and Dan! We love these guys. Happy to see our buddies we skipped the shower and had a couple pitchers of sangria while Bryce played in the rocks discovering "sea creatures".

Dan taught Bryce that if you throw a small mussel into the open tenacles of a sea urchin....they will snap shut and the creature will devour the meat and spit the shell back out at you. Bryce reckoned this to be the best information ever gathered and spent hours "feeding the sea anenomes".

There is something enchantingly beautiful about a town with no electricity after dark. As the sun falls behind the sand, each house illuminates with candle light and walkways are lined with laterns leading the way to open doors from which music flows.
People walk the sandy paths with flashlights or simply by the glow of the moon. As they pass they smile and whisper as if sharing a beautiful secret.
We had dinner under a tent, lit by candelight, with our toes in the sand.
