Meeting people and making friends, that's what it is all about. Well, experiencing new places, cultures, etc. - that too! Anyhow, we took our new friend, Sara, up on her offer to come over to her house. Saturday afternoon, we headed out. She lives north of Mahahual, in Uvero, about 30 - 40 minutes by car. The good doctor (the local chiropractor in town) - Thane - offered us a ride in his Land Rover. Good thing too, because I don't know if we would have found it. Their really are no roadsigns to speak of, and the one's they do have, were all mangled from hurricane Dean. They are not easy to spot.
Casa Morena Sirena (Dark Siren): Located on a long sand road next to the beach, Sara's house was paradise. A big beautiful granite kitchen, solar, Internet, hot water private showers, and oceanfront. As we sat in the lap of luxury, I mixed up some cocktails and Thane started the outside BBQ. We dinned on whole grilled Snapper, grilled veggies, and tortillas, out by the water of course. As everyone danced the night away, I sat under the stars on the beach. It was a good night.
Thinking that Earth Day was 4/20, and laughing at that, we decided to do our part and pick trash out of the water and off the beach. We collected 2 buckets out of the water and one bag off the beach. Our good deed of the day but actually we do this every 3 or 4 days anyhow. Funny, Earth Day was 4/22 this year! On a Wednesday? Just another good excuse to do our part.
