Oh,my how good it is!!!!   To sleep in ones own bed!  The Captain and I had a great sleep and a fantastic day just being lazy aboard our beloved floating home.  Spent the afternoon by the pool and started the next layer of our tans.  Saw two vessels leave the bay and one arrive:  Toulofa with Ronnie and Captain Cactus left for Panama as did La Palmora...........with a family of three arriving from the USof A.........on S/V Avalanche.  Listen to the Amigo SSB net tonight and heard that a few more vessels are making their way down...........we figure we have another month of enjoying the pool to our selves> LOL Life is good!  Updated the photos again so please enjoy the latest.  Talk to you soon on Skype.  When the computer is on so is Skype so would love to chat.  Love ya and have a great Day of Rest tomorrow. The Captain and me aboard the White Shell II

SAILORS SAFELY RETURN TO EL SALVADOR

Image
The Tica Bus ride from San Jose, Costa Rica to San Salvador City, El Salvador brought us back to the little hotel  Maison de Marie in Colon Bonioto.  We  have just finished a nice hot cup of coffee, not as good as Costa Rican coffee but nonetheless a welcome.........traditional breakie and The Captain is looking for a cabbie to take us around town for the rest of the day to do our chores.  Re provisioning will be easier by cab and the ride home to Bahia del Sol more comfortable then on the chicken bus. The adventure continues and we will refurbish our Internet  CLARIO  account to keep in touch with you all!!!!  Take care and have a great weekend, ours will be special back aboard The White Shell II.   Struck but happy to be back,  Luisa y Claes

THE CALL OF THE SEA

with  the wind in our faces and the sand between our toes the Playa at Punteranas offers us the waves of the Nicoya Peninsula and  beckons us.  The date on the calendar reminds us that our stay in Costa Rica is coming to a gentle close.  Geraldo and Xinia invited us to a fantastic restaurant tonight,  El Rodeo in Allujela, just a few miles from home.  The food was oh so tasty...........carne which is meat....yes, incredible beef cooked to perfect and the service was impeccable.  What a lovely way to say thank you.........they continue to thank us for our time with Gerald in Canada.  It is also Xinia birthday on Wednesday so we had two reasons to celebrate. Good nite!!!!
