Sylvie's Travels Home

I had the worst sleep. After falling asleep at 10:30pm, I woke up at 11:30pm because of Pogo’s phone constantly beeping, then a truck kept revving its engine somewhere. I heard Mario and Josée’s guests leaving just before midnight and finally Pogo got up to go read in the living room because he couldn’t sleep either. Maybe the ton of garlic from dinner last night didn’t help either. I was totally awake by then so I read until past 3am and was still awake when Pogo came back to bed at 3:30am after sleeping on the couch for a while.

Today was Daylight Saving Time back home but it won’t change here until April 3rd so I have to remember that we now have a 2 hours difference.

Pogo went paddleboarding for the first time here and took advantage of the ocean being calm. He saw a turtle and a clump of a dozen rays but nothing spectacular.

We both went for a massage at noon. Lola, my massage therapist, put so much oil on me, especially in my hair, that Pogo said I looked like a drowned rat… I guess they had ran out of clean sheet because we were both covered with only beach towels. It was still a great massage for $35 for the both of us.

We had lunch at La Gaviotta afterwards and the fish tacos were excellent. We saw our friends on the beach and made plans to leave at 8am tomorrow morning for Tequila.

Fernanda had called Pogo yesterday to tell him that a van had become available so he went to get it at 5pm. We lucked out as it is a brand new van.

We packed our suitcases, had burgers for dinner and went to bed early.
