Down the hill and on the beach - had the boys pick us up, so didn't have to do the climb back up today. :)

Really glad I'm getting some pool time here.  Its making a big difference in the shoulder range of motion.  Its making it hurt more, but totally worth it to have it working better. I haven't been walking as much as I intended, but honestly its nice to have some down time.  When I get home, everything is going to be full tilt towards WAO, so I'm enjoying the break from stressing.

Taking me forever to finish the Chrissie Wellington book.  Its good enough, but obviously not something I can't put down.

So my friend thinks I'm going to need to extend the time of WAO if I'm going to stop and take pictures so often. :)

Had a great time walking into town.  I'm guessing that strawberry daquiris, guacamole, and fried calamarie wasn't the most healthy choice for lunch.  Sure was tasty though!

Getting ready to head out on a longer walk.  There seems to be some descrepancy as to how many kilometers it is where we're walking, so we'll walk one way, take a break, get a drink, then evaluate our options and either have the boys come pick us up or walk back.

Was going to do a longer walk this morning, but woke up feeling tired and achy and decided to take it easy.  Suspect I've just been doing too much and this is my body's way of telling me to relax a little.  Today is Fred's birthday.  We're going to celebrate with local pizza and pasta.  I'm guessing it won't be like eating the american versions.   Yesterday, I had whole squid stuffed with shrimp.  I love squid, but after eating it two days in a row, I think I've had enough for a little while. 

Reading Chrissie Wellington's new book.  Almost makes me want to be a little more careful with the diet and exercise.  Almost. ;)

Down the hill, around the beach, and back up. 640 feet and 3/4 mile down to the beach. Not so bad going down, but man does it hurt coming back up!

Pretty strange to do some real swim training and it did wear me out. Kickboard, buoy, flip turns, balance. Wow, am I out of practice!

So, its 78 degees, and I'm looking for a sweater.  Enough with the rain already!  I need to carefully bake myself in the sun!!!

Raining this morning.  Not unpleasant and it's good that it forces me to take it easy and relax a little more than I normally do here.  Lots of monkeys and birds always make for good amusement.

Been getting in the pool a bit.  First real swimming since I had my shoulder done.  It feels better than I expected it to.  Of course, I'm only swimming about 50 feet at a time. LOL!

Down and around the beach and back up. Beautiful morning!

Finally got connected to the internet.  Nothing moves quickly here.  My friend and I walked down to the beach this morning.  The hill/mountain that the house is on is quite steep and around 550 feet & 3/4 mile from  the beach.  When we were headed down the road this morning, we passed three guys on bikes.  I can't imagine riding on this steep dirt road.  Very impressive. 

We're starting to settle into a routine.  Good walk/workout in the morning followed by bird/monkey watching, and afternoon swim, cerveza and black beans. Life is good.
