The morning started on the deck. First writing in my journal with a big mug of coffee and cream…a blue bowl full of dripping, juicy chunks of mango & papaya smothered in granola and yogurt.
Then, after the most exquisite yoga with Sofia in a breezy palapa-roofed space, we sweated our way down to the beach at Playa Manzanillo.
We bobbed, suspended in the surf, hung out on chaise lounges in the palm-rustling shade, read our books, and I swear I had the best shrimp dish ever…really, there is nothing left to say.
I have lived another perfect day in paradise. Thank you Michele…Queen of the Puerto Escondido App!
Colour me green!
Martha, green like the limes or like the avocadoes?
This sounds like an idyllic place. Thank you for sharing.
Oh, I am so envious. When I got up in the dark this morning at 7:45 it was 15 degrees Farenheit. I went to work with the car heater going full blast, and it took about 1.5 miles to get warm, because I had to leave the car out of the garage last night. I took a walk at about 4 when I got home and it was all of 30 degrees–minus 2 Celsius. It’s now dusk, will be dark in 30 minutes, and it’s only 6 p.m. OK, so the bad trigger words here? Work, cold and dark. Boo hoo!
Oh dear Mandy…this is probably not the time to mention that I just had a cold shower to try to lower my body temperature a degree or two. Apparently the fish-bowl-sized margarita I just finished wasn’t going to do the trick this time.
Hmm…Work, cold and dark vs hammocks, heat and permanently blue skies. That’s a tough one!
I say buy! Sounds like a wonderful place and a wonderful holiday 🙂
Karen, we did a great tour today. Fabulous range of places. Met someone tonight who says a place in her building is up for sale too. We’ll check it out tomorrow after yoga and after our appointment at the hair salon/pedicure/place called Pura Vida but before the fundraiser for the orphanage. Things are hopping here in Puerto!
Oh, wow I wish I had been there for that breakfast. And the shrimp dish. And the lounging. Yoga? Not so much. Sounds as if you’re having an AMAZING time.
Carol. How can you not LOVE yoga? Between the Namastes, the incense and the hot breezes, it’s like the merger of my two favourite places; Mexico meets India!
You’re right to wish for the breakfast and the shrimp dish. Unreal. Seriously. Best Shrimp. Ever. (100 pesos = $8.00)
I hope you’ll be back again soon…maybe as a neighbour!
Do you think this is a good time to mention to my husband that we’re going out with the realtor tomorrow?
