~~Day 27  “Sunshine, Scenery and Strawberry Margs!”

Strangely enough I did not beat the sunrise today!  It was already into the sky when I raced to the window.

It’s a beautiful morning so we decide a little ride around la isla is a good idea.  I can never get enough of the view over the Garrafon area….

Love the colours of the water….ever changing but always gorgeous….

Zooming up the east side I make Vince pull over numerous times so I can capture the views.  It really is the most scenic little island!

There was work being done on some very nice new walking areas.  They’ve since been completed and I’m looking forward to some nice long walks without having to worry about traffic….

Getting ready for the beach we take in the amazing views right from our own Isladise balcony….

Time is passing too quickly….another sunset moving us closer and closer to our last days….

We decide to have a pre dinner drink at Las Brisas…..toes in the sand, under the moonlight, with wonderful music by Sandra and Lenin..

The strawberry margaritas were perfect!

So perfect that we order more margaritas with dinner at Asia Caribe…

Vince has his favourite…pork tenderloin with black mushroom sauce…

And I had rice and veggies…

It’s always fun to sit at the restaurants on Hidalgo and people watch!  Tummies full, but not so full that we can’t manage dessert!  And I wonder what that would be??  The usual, chocolate tempura from Comono.  I’ve checked with Penny and this is still on the menu….find it at El Patio on Hidalgo…..Delish!!!!

~~Day 15  “In The Isla Rhythm”

After 15 days in Isladise, we’ve fallen into a comfortable rhythm….sunrise, beach, sunset, dinner.  Each day as wonderful as the one before and although similar, every day is always a relaxing adventure!

And I’m not going to jinx that rhythm by missing a sunrise.  I beat the sun again…

View from inside Casita Isladise through the big windows…

Our usual quick breakfast at home….usually some yogurt and fruit or some buns and jam if we’ve been to Chedraui.  Trek to Playa Norte to our reserved spot!  Okay, so it’s not really reserved, but after 15 days, it should be mine!

Vince dashes off around noon to pick up some para llevar fish ‘n chips from Jax.  He was gone a really long time and I was beginning to wonder/worry.  Finally shows up….guess they lost his order so he had to wait quite a while.  At least it was yummy!

Back home we find that Fatima has left a pretty little towel swan for us.  

I picked up some fresh flowers for our little home.   Huge bouquet for less than $5.  The flower shop is just east of Miguel’s Moonlight.

The patio is all ready for sunset viewing, so we grab a little drink and get comfy. 

It wasn’t a spectacular sunset, but a great time to just sit together and think back on another perfect day.

Vince has a craving for pasta so we head for Rolandi’s on Hidalgo.    Vince’s pasta was very good….

And we shared a pizza as well.

And then it was one last celebration with Keith and Elisa on their…. shhhh….last night.  Nobody likes the last night, so we’ll take away the pain with tequila and chocolate!  What a combination!  On the rooftop at Arriba….the upstairs bar of Comono….now located above El Patio..

And our usual….chocolate tempura….have I convinced everyone to try this by now!?

Someone might have had a little bit too much!!  Time to go home and do it all again mañana!

Tomorrow…..sad goodbyes…..and a fabulous Lolo Lorena dinner extravaganza!
