Thursday, April 8
Power returned around 6am, which coincided with our alarm clock (various loud species of birds). Our food remains intact, despite the power outage. CJ’s A/C and the house fans are all whirring once again. Towels are in the washing machine. Back on the beach before 8am. Considering finding a snorkeling site but never got off our lazy butts to do so. Rocco has returned and is on the beach with the kids. We’re off to pilfer an internet signal!
Chris and Karen spent a large portion of the morning finally uploading the blog from a “borrowed” signal ¼ mile away. Other than that, it is safe to say we had a marvelous time doing essentially nothing. Played at the beach again, had dinner in Las Tablas for $45 (including 5 appetizers). Beers were $.60. Sodas for $.50. Desserts for everyone for under $5. Now we are perched in the town square enjoying a free Wi-Fi connection while Abby sleeps on the bench.
Dinner at Hotel Piamonte in Las Tablas
While at the beach this afternoon, we witnessed three blokes setting a very large fishing net in the surf near our villa. Annie queried them on their activity and, after informing us that 3 people were killed by sharks there (a number of years ago), they invited us to watch them pull the nets up in the early morning hours tomorrow.
Karen blogging this evening with the free Las Tablas City Internet
Hoping to quickly post this and head back to enjoy the beach campfire CJ set up for us!
Abby Sleeping in the Square in Las Tablas after dinner
As it turns out, we returned too late for the campfire. Maybe tomorrow.
