2 weeks in!

Hello again peeps,

I wish I had lots of exciting adventures to report but unfortunately it has mostly been raining! My crazy Texan neighbour, Bobby Dan, has been looking out for me and took me out for an amazing meal last week. We headed to a bar called Tranquila, which I hear is not so tranquil later on in the evening, but was perfect at sunset, sitting on a high dock overlooking the bay. Then we hopped next door to Dave's. This place doesn't look like much from the outside but my god the food was good! You have a choice of pork or chicken, it is served with rice, mash and salad and a choice of one of 4 or 5 of his famous sauces. I went for red wine and garlic. Yummmmmm! It was a huge plateful! and only cost about 3 pounds!

The following day he took me to this water tower. Sounds exciting doesn't it! However you can climb on top of it and the view is amazing! Unfortunately the camera messed up when I was uploading the pics so not all of the pictures are as good as they were and I don't have any programs here to fix them!

We were meant to go diving yesterday but it was pouring with rain and I slipped over on the way to the dive shop! Hopefully tomorrow. And tonight I'm going to a talk on whale sharks. Might actually get to go out looking for them one of these days, weather permitting. Wish I had more exciting news for you but I've had to stay pretty much holed up due to the rain.

Hopefully I'll have something more interesting to say next time. Take care and big hugs to all.
