Spoiled

 We got to go to the beach again yesterday, this time to La Libertad, which has darker sand than the previous beach we visited. I should have taken a picture of the whole fish Tory ate at lunchtime.  We bought Pollo Campero for the girls to eat, and we went to a little restaurant by the side of the road, that sold fresh fish. You could choose to get a $3, $5, or $8 fish, depending on how big you wanted it to be. It also came with rice, salad, and toasted tortilla strips.  After we ate, we took three plates of $3 fish to go, and went back to the beach house.  Edwin's sister, Claudia, who was watching the kids as they played in the pool now had her chance to eat lunch.  She settled down to eat her delicious fish, when Tory got a good look at it, and decided she wanted to try it.  Well, Claudia had to content herself with some Pollo Campero, because Tory wolfed that fish down eagerly.

Lounging around.... such a hard life!

Claudia called this pool the "pila".  When we got there, I chuckled to myself when I saw it.  The kids played in there ALL DAY.  They had to be dragged out to go play in the waves for a bit, then they jumped back in.

We saw a few stray dogs while we were there that were so pathetic looking, we fed them our chicken bones.  They were very docile and sweet, looking at you with calm, hungry eyes.  I would have brought one home with me if I still lived here (after I doused them with flea shampoo, of course). 

Can you see the chickens roosting in the top branches of the tree? :)

Today we hung out most of the day at the house, watching more World Cup matches, as I read and the girls played.  In the evening, we were able to eat pupusas again! 

Tory found a snail! 

I am SO satisfying my mango cravings! These all came from the tree in their yard!
