Today was the quintessential perfect day in paradise. Picturesque, calm, sunny, warm and full of happy people smiling almost anywhere you looked.

We enjoyed excellent fresh coffee from Café Caracol, jugo verde and nejos con crema y queso for breakfast. Cumulous clouds danced around us at sea and in the sierra as though teasing us for our shortage of rain this year. Pretty for photos but not much else.

Town was busy with visitors today. Fishermen for the torneo, and families of tourists visiting Playa Las Gatas, Playa La Madera and the downtown beach. Sales were okay for many merchants. This is the time of year when everyone here hopes to pay debts and have money to celebrate the holidays with their family. Some of us even take vacations ourselves every now and then.

Lupita and I decided to celebrate and enjoy a special day with Joaquín and his staff at La Porteña where we were pampered upon arrival, even though we arrived a half hour before they opened. Gabriel our waiter recommended the fresh dorado prepared empapelado which we enjoyed with our onion soup and salads. The cheesecake for dessert might've been too much, but levertheness it found a warm welcome in my belly. We also enjoyed being serenaded by Los Hermanos Morelos.

Final del Torneo de Apertura (fútbol) tonight, so expect to hear loud shouts of ¡GOOOOOOOL! from the hillsides.

There's nothing quite like a beachfront lodging on La Ropa, and one of La Ropa's hidden gems is Bungalows Vepao. A small inn owned by a local family offering rooms and suites, many with kitchenettes, all with wi-fi. Pool and restaurant on property.
