Last Day Together

Pat and Gail have been here for 4 days and we have only eaten out once - a breakfast at the Majahua Palms resort. It was time for us to try some of the fresh seafood that people on the Troncones Chat Facebook page always rave about!

We decided to have a late lunch rather than a dinner. It gets dark early here and if we had a dinner we would have to walk home in the pitch dark. There aren’t any street lights. Not our idea of fun.

We walked to Majahua. Chris and I took the high road, which is the dusty, rocky main road and Pat and Gail took the low road, which is the walk on the beach. We arrived about the same time and picked one of the little beachside restaurants to eat in. We were the only customers.

Chris had mahi-mahi fish tacos, Gail had Majahua shrimp, Pat had Mahi-mahi-mahi in an avocado sauce and I had garlic shrimp. Was it ever a good meal with great service! We will have to do this more often!

We walked home on the beach and saw a dead yellow-bellied sea snake on the beach. Apparently, they are venomous but not aggressive and very pretty. Their tail is flat and used as a rudder for swimming.

When we got home, Gail called her daughter and found out that she was in the hospital. This was not expected. Due to covid restrictions and hospital protocol, Gail was not able to find out exactly why she was there but both Pat and Gail felt that they should go home. It was pretty stressful.

Flights were arranged. They found out that rapid covid tests could be done at the airport (Americans don’t need the same covid tests as Canadians) and they packed up to go.Read more
