Getting in more beach days!

It's amazing how nice being so much closer to town and the beach is.  It's nothing at all to walk to the store now to pick something up.  And we've been to the beach every day since we moved.  We walked on the beach at night on the 17th, 18th and 19th, when the moon was at its fullest (full moon was on the 18th) and the beach was soooo beautiful in the moonlight.  And it was amazing how far out the tide was!  On the 20th, we walked to an Argentinian type restaurant on the beach and had some good grilled meat and fish with key lime pie and chocolate mousse for dessert!  We noticed towards the end of our meal that there were lots of hermit crabs crawling around in the sand around all the tables.  We thought that was interesting.  On our walk back to our place, either the moon hadn't come up yet or it was too cloudy, but the beach was a lot darker that night, and not as spectacularly beautiful.

Every day since we've been at our new place, we eat one of our meals on the balcony.  And it's usually banana and peanut butter, guacamole and chips, tomato slices, juice and fruit.  Then our other meal we go out to eat somewhere.  Breakfast is provided where we're staying.  So, tonight for dinner we're going to try another beach restaurant......  you know, I think we're going to miss doing that.

Tomorrow we start packing up and day after we leave Samara and head for Liberia where we will meet Fernando and Eva.  We look forward to going into the mountains with them for 3 days - yay, cooler weather!!
