We took a drive up the road as I wanted to check out a gift shop that the Iowa man's wife worked at! Below are pictures of the vegation on the way - I have never seen such dense, tangled vines as this - pure jungle -and I was silently thinking to myself of all the creepy crawlies that were probably lurking on the floor of the jungle!
We found the gift shop and talked to the gal quite a while - it was definitely NOT a trinket shop - a lot of expensive, nice items! Then it was back to our place where we swam in the ocean and the swimming pool!Our gardener, Elfonzo, came and started cutting vines and thorny bushes on the lot next door and TRYING to burn them! Glenn watched and watched him until he couldn't stand it any longer - he put his jeans on and headed over, determined to show him how to start a PROPER fire! So for the next hour or so, he helped Elfonzo cut and burn - it was hot out by this time of the day and by the time he finished, he was to the point of being over heated! But a cool shower helped!
Below is a picture of the dogs that followed us on our walks on the beach - they certainly wouldn't stand still for any length of time so it was hard to get a picture of them!
Sunset was going to be better than the last few nights so I raced upstairs to the rooftop as I wanted to capture the palm trees in the swimming pool next door - it did turn out better than I expected it to!!
And our last sunset over the ocean........................
I just had to have the grilled shrimp again next door (as did Glenn) so we headed over for our last night - we enjoyed talking to the people at the next table who had been coming to Troncones for years and had just bought property a little ways from where we were staying and were starting to build!
Bedtime was interesting as the air conditioner (which was located on the wall over the bed) started dripping - of course Elfonzo had already went home by this time - Glenn looked at it but couldn't figure out either why it was leaking! Of course the leak dripped right on the headboard and had soaked down into the bed and pillow - and I thought the logical thing would be to put a pan there to catch the drips - but I didn't think about the dripping sound - not a good thing when you're trying to sleep - so we ended up just shutting it off for the night and using the fan which was fine............The Journey Home will be our last, to be continued..............

Those vines are crazy - they look like the kudzu we have in NC! Sounds like a lovely vacation. I'm jealous!
Oh I love the pictures! The "jungle" is wild and the sunsets just amazing!
