Hi all,
Arrived late Tue. afternoon and are staying at MVC Eagle Beach. This is a great place. We're on the second floor and have a great view of the beach. We're dull. Don't do much but lay on the beach, eat and drink and read. Have eaten at Smokey Joe's and Tulip. Both twice and both delicious. IMO Smokey Joes has the best ribs money can buy. Tulip also has wonderful food at a very reasonable price. Spent a happy hour down at the Playa Linda with Claudia and Sassy. They are absolutely the BEST! They each work at the beach bars there. Well, that's it from here. Over and out.

The weather has been great!! Today is is very windy. We had so much fun playing in the water. The waves were really big. Went to the bb party yesterday at the AM. It was fun. Nice to be able to put faces with names. We have eaten at Aqua Grill and Fishes and More. Both were great meals. Heading in to town tonight. Haven't seen Gina yet.

Went to Daniel's book signing at the Playa Linda on Wed. Probably would have been there anyway as Claudia is one of my two favorite bartenders. Daniel and his wife are such a nice couple! Have spent almost every day at the beach. We really got rained on, on Thurs, soaked to the bone. Went snorkeling this morning with none other than the Snorkel Man, himself, Kent Gerber. This guy is GREAT! He was so kind to us and patient with me. Those water scooters he has are something else! He took us back to Club Arias and showed us around. What a nice place. Thanks again, Kent! Gonna get cleaned up and head to the big palapa at the Playa Linda for Sat. Mass and then happy hour after. No dinner plans yet. That's about it. Over and out.
