Hard to believe but week three in Puerto has already come to an end. Along with the usual dinners, drinks, music, and beaches, we
said good-bye to both Russ and Viv, and Stuart and Melanie. This post is a combination of bits and
bobs of the week’s happenings.
We had a family dinner
at sister Rita & Mike’s condo rooftop palapa.

We enjoyed a special
night of music at the Rincon Cafeteria/Bar. As happens in Puerto, we didn’t really know how the music
was going to flow. We enjoyed a
fresh seafood dinner at the Turtle Bay Restaurant; thenwondered across the road to the
Rincon at about 8 pm. Alberto and
Enrico (a couple a very talented professional guitar players on holiday from
Italy) were just starting to play when we arrived. Three and a half hours later (without a break) we had been
witness to what could arguably be called the “best night of music in our Puerto
Escondido experience” and we had front row seats. At one point cousin Randy was asked to sit in on the drums
and he was a key part of the action until yet another Italian arrived to take
over in the final set. The highlight of the evening was when Alberto and Enrico
engaged in a 20-minute set of duelling lead guitars. This duel included each of them walking through the house
and ending up on the floor. Neither
lost a note in moving down, laying on, and getting up from the floor.

The sun continues to
set and is a focal point of the day. As well, all of our party except one has been up early enough to enjoy sunrises
over the mountains east of Puerto. The sun rises here at around 6:50 am and sets at 6:35 pm. Despite the doable early rise our lone
sunrise misser cannot seem to wake naturally before 8 am.

We have also tried
experimenting with some video posts.
Our weak Internet connection has made it quite challenging to find a
method and format that will work in the blog format. Hopefully a few of them will work.
