January 4 - First whale sighting



Walking in the early morning jungle with its bird life and beauty.

Today we saw the first whales from our patio.  Probably 3 individuals, leaping from the water and generally having a good time.  I was reminded of something I once read,  that we must appreciate nature because she is supremely indifferent to the petty hysterias of the human race.  

Speaking of hysterias, the gas shortage is improving, but continues.


Cars lined up for gas at the only station with fuel.

We spent the morning on our patio watching whales, dog-sitting our neighbours standard poodle and helping our Spanish instructor write a training proposal.  Luckily, we had already planned to go out to dinner as it took nearly 4 hours to write it.  (We are selflessly sampling restaurants to take visitors to in the next few months.)


Piña Colada restaurante


Voted best Margarita for many years running.




This is a family run restaurant which has been here for a very long time and the food and atmosphere was great.  Definitely a must.  

Kirk and I went for our last walk around 10 p.m.  The night was humid and warm with crickets singing and an owl hooting.
