After a 3 hour drive from San Juan del Sur, we arrived in Playa Guasacate and Sunday, November 1st. Under normal conditions, the drive would only take 2 hours but because of all the rain last month the roads are mostly deep mud holes with streams running down the road so you have to drive in 1st or 2nd gear most of the time. A lot of times they just look like big mud puddles but they can be a foot or 2 deep. Everyone we’ve talked to says in acouple weeks it will all dry up and they will do the annual road “reclamation,” then the trip will be a breeze….we’ll see. When we arrived at our house, Casa Amarillo, we were alittle disappointed. The house had been closed up for a month, there was no water, the power was down and it needed to be cleaned. So we opted to stay next door at Hotel Toro for our first night….a nice place & a great pool! Luckily, we had bought a cooler & ice to put our perishable food in. The next day some of the staff from Toro came over and got the water turned on and helped us clean and we moved in. The good news is, the manager at Toro told us we could use the pool anytime, they have cold cervesa and they take Visa! We are stylin’ here on the edge of nowhere!
Our house is about a 2 minute walk to the beach, just like Kaalawai. Right now everything around us is green but will gradually turn brown as we get into the dry season. The beach is similar to
We are enjoying the simple life here, long walks on the beach morning and evening with awesome sunsets and lots of shell collecting. Grey is filling his “water need” with body surfing right in front of the house. Life is good and so is the cabbage, as it has been our staple “green food” since we’ve been here. Amazingly, even Grey has gotten to really like it since it is our only salad.
As you can see, we have had some awesome sunsets.
