Fresh fish

So we found,a few weeks ago actually, a new place in town that sells fresh fish from the back of a pick up truck. Fresh Tuna, Red Snapper, Mahi Mahi and Corvina(sea bass). It was just wonderful.

Our cooker is coming in very handy. Look at this fantastic carrot cake muffins with fabulous icing.

I finally found smoked oysters.  My gastronomic life is complete.

It was a gym day today. On the way back,this is what we encountered.

I was time for an ice cream, but they were closed(15 minutes early),so...we had a change of venue, it was great ice cream and the treat came with music,and it was the same price.

We'll still go back to the Italian gelataria, you can't beat it.

These are the National police.There is no cruiser(few anyway) and they do not conceal the C8. They drive around on motor cycles. Small ones. Maybe 250 CC dirt bikes. I hope to get a better picture.

So we are almost regulars at the Pool hall. It's the same faces all the time. I had a beer and Aprille had a cranberry juice,go figure, the bill was $2.25. We only played two games because of the load music. So the two games cost $1.

We had experienced high winds,and on the way home, a tree had fallen across the  rd.  It was too heavy for one person,me,to move. An SUV came by a few minutes later,there was a man in the vehicle,but.... there were no  hitch or ropes or chains.The female called for some one to help but it would be 2-3 hrs for someone to come down. It was a useless effort.

I had two towels from our gym trip and I tried to tie them together and pull off the tree. So close. I just could not get the knot to stay tight.

So Aprille had a good idea. Our friend from the gym,Lonnie, lives just up the road and he had a large SUV. Let's go to his house.
He came down with a spool of rope, and in two minutes he was able to pull the tree off the road.
Thank you.
So the moral of the lesson. Have a length of rope in the car. Or..a swede(buck) saw. Both are cheap.

This week was a week for new tires on the car.Super. We went to Big Daddy's for a burger. OMG.
Fresh cut fries,onion rings that were home made and a fabulous burger. Yummie. Not the last time at this place.

I took another day to explore and I found the natural side of Baja Mono. What a treat it was. I took a lot more pictures but you get the idea. It is only minutes from Boquete.

Today,Tue. I went went to La Riena in town because Aprille needed so retail therapy. Guess what I found. A whisk. I have been looking all over and there it was. Silicone and all for just $3.00. What a life.

Tomorrow is a golf day. Whoppeee!

On Thursday we travel to the Caribbean ocean at Bocas Del Toro.Our  room is already booked at the Grand Bahia hotel. We are going to stay for two nights. More good times and of course pictures. Stay tuned
