Our time here has become a very relaxing routine. Each day the weather is the same with a low around 25C and highs in the 30s.
The seafood here is fantastic as every evening around 6 - 7 the fresh fish catch is laid out on ice in front of each restaurant. The fish include Blue Marlin, Barracuda, and about 4 other types in addition to many sizes of Prawns and Squid. I am not a great fish eater, but I had Barracuda a few nights ago and it is the second best fish I have tasted (next to Striped Bass). Last night it was Prawns, baked with lemon, ginger and garlic. Fabulous!
Each day we go down to the beach to frolic in the breakers. There is a continuous swell coming in from the West. The breakers can get a little scary if you are not paying attention. The big ones can pick you up and send you tumbling towards shore. But the water is warm and very salty.
Tremendous variety of nationalities here including many Europeans, Russians, Kiwis and Aussies. The locals say tourism is a way down (sounds like home) but, I guess, that makes it better for us. Some other old folk around but most numerous are the younger generation.
Time for the beach,
Jim
