Beach Day / Rain Day

Sitting here on the terrace watching the remnants of a thunderstorm over the ocean with the colour of the sunset on the clouds - shades of peach and grey! while here it is raining with heavy mist on the mountains


It has been like that for much of the day - thunderstorms overnight, overcast and threatening during the day, and then a wonderful hour around 3 with glorious sun and then the thunderstorms came from the ocean and the mountains together - a good day to read, cook and blog (with a little real work thrown it for good measure).  Plus it is a holiday for the locals, so errands will have to wait for tomorrow!


Yesterday was the complete opposite - clear sky and lots of sun until late in the afternoon - a whole group headed to the beach for sun, fun, beer and munchies - I walked for about 30 minutes along Playa Tortuga (to the turn to the bay and back) - the tide was very low and you had to walk 100m to the water and then that again to actually get any depth - the water was clear and warm!  the wind off the ocean was hot and humid - a great day, including entertainment at the expense of our friends (what happens at the beach stays at the beach!)  A great way to spend a Sunday.
