Phil & Nora are on their way back from Central America to the U.S.; Dan & Lorraine are heading south to Central America.
The Admiral and I are staying right here. For now. OK, at least that's today's plan.
We showed the cruisers our newest property in Arroyo Seco, an 800-square meter lot right in downtown, if downtown is the right word for a pueblo of 300 year-round residents. But during the season, a lot of people come through the place headed to the excellent surfing beaches.
Lots of room for more surfers

The lot is already walled in (good for security), has power and water, and is flat enough that members of the Flat Earth Society would feel comfortable holding a convention here.
We doubt we will use the property as a convention site, but the lot has plenty of business possibilities as well as just a nice spot to build a house. Like another lot we thought we had purchased, this one benefits from the cool ocean breezes.
Downtown Arroyo Seco
After the Arroyo Seco drive through, we went to the beach at Tenacatita where I went boogie boarding again, this time with much less good result. A big wave picked me up and slammed me head-first into the hardpacked sand, then pushed me across the beach (underwater, of course) for about 10 feet.
Ow!
The women at our beachside table told me some people pay a lot of money for the kind of skin peel I got. I could have lived quite nicely without it - or the neck pain I have had for two days.
But a careful regime of M&Ms (margaritas and Motrin) seems to be getting me back in shape to tackle the waves again.
In the meantime, here's another one of those sunset videos...
