Pelican Eyes restaurant


After the pedicure, I walked back down to the restaurant overlooking the bay






A Mediterranean salad, and some Wi-Fi, so I can work on my travel blog



I still consider this the nicest place I've ever been

Back to Pelican Eyes

Well, I couldn't resist. When the manicurist finally showed up, and I went back for my pedicure, I just had to get another one of those amazing foot wraps

The approach to the day spa itself was incredibly relaxing!

Pelicans at sunset

















Post Sunset sweetness

After the sun goes down it just keeps getting better

Probably the most tragic flaw of the iPhone, is that it cannot capture moonlight   
Or Star-field skies at night.
Oh, you'll just have to take my word for it but the moon, almost full, lights up the sky and still thousands of stars compete with it.

The next sunset

Back in San Juan Del Sur --This time at the far end of the beach

today the sunset was punctuated with a comically graceful flock of pelicans, divebombing for  tasty sardines just below the surface

Day trip to Rivas



Walked in the city square while Flavio did something with a Lawyer concerning a land deed

Playa Marsella

Where we came to see the sunset and scout out beachfront accommodations


The beach is 9 km (5 miles?) away, but it took us about 40 minutes to get there on account of the dirt road filled with such bumpy potholes that we drove about 5 miles an hour the whole time


But it was most certainly well worth the trip!
