Jan 12th & 13th day

Well we made it. Up at 3:30am at airport about 4:25am and the counters (lineup) opened at 5am. We moved through quite quickly and efficiently, of course we had read what not to do or bring, so we had no carry on luggage and a small enough purse so we didn't get hassled. Off to LAX, had a stop over there, went out to have a cig and got back through security no problems again. Had lunch (very expensive) then back on a plane for PV. Arrived about 5pm local time (2 hours different from BC) and had a bit of a hold up getting our extra cigs through and paid for. Duty was 228% but he only charged us on 2 cartons not 4. Our friend Miguel and his father-in-law Alex (who runs a taxi, actually it's a van) were there waiting for us and away we went to Guaybitos. Oh hold on... away we went to pick up some cervezas, then off to Guayabitos. It's a beautiful drive here lots of trees and thick jungle like surroundings. After we arrived and unpacked we went for dinner at Abel's restaurant just two doors down. Can't beat the prices 217 pesos for two Shrimp (prawn) dinners with beans (of course) salad and desert and 5 Margaritas. Total CAD $18.66.
Then back to our bungalow for reading and sleeeeping. We were both very tired it was a long day traveling.
Up this morning at 4:30am cause we went to sleep so early last night. Had coffee on the balcony and watched the peace and quiet. Even Brad wasn't too loud. Puttered around and went back to Abel's for breakfast. Brad had Huevos a la Mexican style (scramble with tomatoe, onion, peppers) beans (of course) and tortillas, coffee, water, and I had Huevos with Jamon (ham) and beans (of course) toast, coffee, water. All for 65 pesos $5.59 CAD. Met up with Dahlia and she took us to a store to buy a few things for breakfast tomorrow only because we will go to La Penita tomorrow for the Market (Swap meet) and pick up more groceries for less. After the store we napped then sat on the balcony south facing. Then had lunch and went for a dip in the pool. We have some nice neighbours (Helen & Francois) downstairs that were out swimming too. They have been here since Dec.18th and are staying till March 28th. Brad just went for another nap, and then later we will go out somewhere for dinner and drinks. Temp 28 - 30 degrees C
Having a wonderful time, wish you were here!
