October 21, 2008. Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico.

When we walked into the apartment today Ken commented that he felt like he had come home. That is a good thing. First thing we did was retrieve our goods from the lockers. Of course, Ken realized that he left at home his membership card and the keys to the locker at home in Chevy Chase, so first he had to go downstairs and correct the errors. Maybe he is not doing as well as we thought he was doing, but perhaps it was just an error. After a short nap, and putting away all our duds, we went down to the beach for a drink with Joyce and Robbie. This bar on the beach is a favorite for us, so we enjoyed the sun and the warmth and the breezes.

We felt compelled to check out the Hotel, so we four wandered down to another bar in the hotel where they serve two for one drinks. It did look ridiculous. On the table at the same time were two drinks for each person, making a total of eight drinks at the same time. That took awhile, before we ambled along to the market for Mexican food. It seemed fitting to eat Mexican food the first night we were in Mexico, so we enjoyed our meal in this little restaurant on the second floor of the Mall. It was very pleasant and tasty too. After a quick trip to the Market for milk and fruit, we wandered home by nine. Now we look forward to two weeks of walking and eating and reading. We like this place. It feels like home.
