Valle de Guadalupe

Friday 27 May

Remember the story of the princess and the pea? That's how Anne and I felt last night. Our beds were so high we had to climb in, but very comfortable! Definitely no peas there.

We were watched over by angels as we slept.

 

We got the biggest room because it is far away from the main living area, at the bottom of the steep driveway - too far for the children to be left at bedtime. Our room is also closest to the animals so we were welcomed to the new day by the rooster. Unfortunately he did it at about 2am when I turned on the bathroom light. But no worries, he got it right later on.

 

This morning Susan, Anne, Sarah, Lana and I went to the bridal brunch at a restaurant on the beach. It was nice to meet Oscar's family and the Aussie friends who organised the brunch. We tied ribbons around a candle and made a wish for the bride. The choice for brunch was an omelet or chilequiles. I chose the latter, which was sort of breakfast nachos with scrambled egg and refried beans. Tasty. It was a really pleasant gathering and, fortunately, no hen's party surprises.

Susan took us on a tour of Ensanada, which is quite a big town with a huge port area. There was a very big cruise ship in port. Apparently Ensanada was a very popular place in the 80s until the drug wars put a stop to tourism. It is now a bit tired and shabby in places but still a stop for cruise ships.

While we were out the boys took the children off to a park so we came home to peace and quiet on the lovely terrace.

We had stocked up on supplies at the supermarket in town, so Anne made risotto for dinner. We have now invaded the kitchen of the very hospitable owner as we have no means of cooking in our cabins. The families ate and ran as they had to get to the wedding rehearsal, leaving Anne and me to a quiet meal and time to catch up on our blogs.
