but Paul and I sat on the beach and drank beer. The weather was warm, the wind was nice and the view was great! We swam in the ocean, walked the beach, ate seafood, saw some flamingoes at a nature reserve, you know, your basic weekend at the end of October. (Are you drooling yet?)
Also, we have friends! Woohoo! Do you know how you can tell? We’re both finally in a picture together! Our friends Guillermo and Kimberly are awesome. Paul met G at (surprise) a bookstore. G’s uncle runs a used bookshop not too far from our apartment. It turns out his girlfriend Kimi is studying English at the university to be an English teacher. So the two of us get together for coffee or ice cream a couple of times a week and I practice my Spanish on her and she practices her English on me. So they decided to take us to Progreso for the day last Saturday and that is how we ended up at the beach. Did I mention they like dogs and G’s aunt has an Estetica Canina! ha!
Let’s face it, you know by now the story isn’t complete without some news about another cute dog. This one really stole my heart, really. Apparently Chico (that’s what I named him) lives at the flamingo reserve (not bad for a homeless pup) and likes to chase the other birds that hang out on the beach – the seagulls and such. He came up to us as we were leaving. Super cute, super polite, and super docile, which convinced Paul that Masha would take to him. But no, we didn’t bring him home if that’s what you’re wondering (but trust me, had we been in our car, he would be ours by now…)
We’re off to Santa Elena this weekend (for real this time). We’ll let you know how our first adventure with a rental car goes… eek!
More soon
