One of the things I need to get used to about life on Isla is that I cannot go to sleep past 10 p.m. because the absolute latest I can be guaranteed to sleep uninterrupted is 5 a.m. Seven and six do sometimes happen, but it’s rare. I didn’t get to sleep till about 10:45 last night and I’m feeling it this morning. 🙁
I woke up around five and gave up on going back to sleep around six. I decided to go for a beach walk before getting to work.
-
- The surf is loud in the morning. I very occasionally hear it between the roosters and honking!
-
- These will be used for covering palapas.
-
- Carmelita’s, viewed from the beach (where I’ve been getting internet access).
-
- Carmelita’s viewed from the other side.
-
- This is Miguel’s restaurant, one of the very few, if not only, proper sit down restaurants open for dinner.
-
- This is where the peanut guy sets up his table (notice the birds…).
-
- The police station looks a little like a Tardis/British police call box!
-
- The chicken lady’s stand. She’s there in the back in the white dress. Only six hours to go to chicken! 🙂
-
- This little grocery/convenience store is just by my house, so a good place to go if I run out of anything since the proper grocery store is quite a distance away.
-
- Gas tank on the roof of the house.
-
- I keep getting asked where I got my much needed entrance mat. Out of my truck… I bought a bunch of these for cheap at the thrift store and they’re great for covering up stuff in the truck and, obviously, as a Mexican doormat to catch some of the dirt that gets tracked into my house!
-
- It’s quite a distance to my front door from the office, so I put a sign in its window.
-
- It fits nicely between the bars and it works!
