Friday- day after Thanksgiving-ate leftovers (although we bought the 11 pounder thinking there would be turkey for weeks, it was so delicious, we ate almost all of it that day) …headed to the beach with Tony (another fellow 55er) We sat on the rocks watching the tide come and go, while waiting for the beautifully designed crabs to show themselves, but unfortunately they never did. We took a dip in the warm water and watched a massive ship pull out of the Corinto port-the NYK Line. I wonder what they just dropped off? After pondering this for a while, we headed to a great seaside restaurant called Costa Azul for chilled white wine, spicy shrimp ceviche and raw mussels, complimented perfectly by a view of the fishing boats coming and going underneath a pink and orange sun setting sky. Wow. I was joined that night by Ashley, Lindsey, Tony and Nelson for home cooked (by Nelson) Thai meal and my delicious food coma continued. What a day.
Saturday- slept late and headed back to the beach. While floating over the waves like starfish, we talked about life and watched a boat come into the Corinto port-just as big as the one leaving the day before and just as mysterious. PC friends left and I called my Dad and relaxed…that is until 7 pm when I went to a friend’s house. Our plan was to celebrate Xiomara and Ignacios’ birthdays on the beach with a bonfire, star gazing and ice cream. (Many many photos were taken and I am sure they will be on facebook before you know it) We talked, danced (I taught them the running man/woman-they laughed, but complied and tried to do this legendary dance move with me), we joked about how tiny our BONFIRE ended up being…it was a great night. It was nice to spend some time with my Nica friends on this weekend of giving thanks.
Sunday- more sleeping late, cleaning, relaxing and watching the PATS destroy the Eagles. Awesome way to end a fantastic weekend!
