I was having a frustrating work day, so at 3:30 I decided to go for a late lunch\/early dinner on the beach to regroup. It was a perfect day for an impromptu beach lunch because it was cold and overcast. So the beach wasn’t busy and there was service at the restaurants.<\/p>\n

Something told me to go to El Velero, so I did.\u00a0I wasn’t going to get anything heavy to eat but then conceded that the reason I wanted to go to El Velero was for the coconut shrimp with the pineapple dipping sauce. So I indulged. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

My timing was perfect since I ran into friends who are heading back to Quebec tomorrow. So we and another couple had a beer together, I ate, and we gals perused the jewelry from our favourite vendor!<\/p>\n

Last week, I found a “placeholder” pendant to tide me over until I find something more permanent to replace the scarab I lost on the beach:<\/p>\n

\"IMGP3240\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The gals have several years of experience buying jewelry on the beach here and confirmed that the $150 I bargained the pendant down to was what it’s worth. So I’m pleased with my bargaining skills. I know an octopus wouldn’t be to everyone’s taste, but it sure is to mine (literally — yum!) and I love the detail on the legs with all the suckers.<\/p>\n

Today, I picked up a pretty ring:<\/p>\n

\"IMGP3242\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I don’t need to haggle with this vendor since he always gives me his best price, in this case $100! Again, that’s pesos folks, so just 7.70CAD for the ring.<\/p>\n

It wound up being a longer break than I had expected, but the social time did me a world of good. Now, back to typing!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
