Life’s A Beach

Here are a few pictures of what I’ve been up to since I arrived at the beach on Saturday.
The porch was rebuilt on Casa Gaviotas, but instead of bamboo and wood, it is now concrete and stone.  The palapa roof seems to have survived the hurricane.  The little palapa structure to the right of the orange building is Casa Gaviotas–my home away from home.

First night, a little party/jam session at Carol’s house:

Guitar, harmonica and flute.  Not a bad combination.  We mouthed the words we weren’t sure about but came on strong during the choruses!!Loved this painting by Carol on the wall of the kitchen.  The butterly is so realistic.
Um, more realistic than I’d initally realized, I surmised as the moth flew to a new location on the painting.

This little fella high up on the wall added his own chorus to the music.

El Gato from next door comes every morning for a nibble that isn’t fish.  Usually he depends on the gifts of kind fishermen who share their catch with him. Quite a life for a cat.   Here he keeps an eye on both fishermen, ready for breakfast to be tossed his way.

We inherited him as a kitten five years ago when we were here when the French lady who got him from the shelter left.  I meant to take him home with me but when the time came, he refused to come with me, preferring his free and easy beach life and fresh fish every day. so Daniel next door agreed to look after him.  Now I see him each time I come to the beach and he slips back into being a little bit my cat–especially around meal time.  I call him Bobino.  Handsome cat, and he shows the beach dogs who is boss!

Both nights, sunset tequila ceremony at Daniel’s–a nightly occurrence, year round:

Both mornings, I walked the beach, but not many offerings so far:
I’ve been swimming every day, took walks both mornings, wrote a bit and cooked up a pot of chili and another pot of spaghetti sauce. I like cooking in big lots and then not cooking for the rest of the week.  I took some chili over to Daniel next door, then had a visit from my friend Michael.  Yesterday Linda visited.

3 o’clock.  Time for a swim.  Another lazy day in paradise.  No snow so far.
I did the below prompt over a year ago.  You can see it on the WordPress site.  So, I’m instead telling a bit about beach life today!!!
