Last day on the road

We decided to drive to La Pedrera and check out the cabana. The best part about doing that today is that now we will be able to stay with Leo and Mecki for Christmas Eve. I hear that at midnight there is a huge fireworks display. Not an organized show, but everyone shoots a few off, and it really adds up. We are going to have a parilla dinner in the back terrace.
We started the morning in the city of Mina's. We went out to what we thought was an ordinary breakfast. Allen ordered grilled ham and cheese and got coffee and a scone. There was a table of 5 men at the table behind us, and they were in the age range of 60. When their breakfast came out on the tray it was five glasses of whiskey. Wow! Now that's a breakfast. It was only 9:30 in the morning.
We arrived at La Pedrera and had to wait two hours to get the key. We walked the main street (kind of the only street) and found the cabana. We found the path that led to the ocean. It takes about five minutes to walk. The cabana is nice. Clean and no bugs. Small but good. We will describe it all later so thats all I am gonna say now.
It was hot hot hot yesterday. Really hot. So hot we really can't stay out in the sun very much. Makes me wonder where the perfect place is. Too hot to be out in the sun, or too cold to be out of the house...hmmm, something to ponder. Allen would say the perfect place would be on a sailboat.
We landed at Mecki and Leo's house and met their friend April. April is visiting from New York until New Years Eve. We went t the disco grabbed a few things and had a great dinner at 10:00 outside in the terrace. We had bread, cheeses, veggies and salami and lots of wine, beer and good conversation. It is nice for both of us to converse with someone other than each other, including Mecki and Leo. Hahaha Thanks to April for adding to our table.
It rained hard last night while we were sleeping. It really pours when it rains. Pretty cool lightening and thunder too.
More later
