April Happenings

 Life is good - sunny days, sandy beaches, beautiful sunrises, fishing for Glenn, reading and  walking the beach and playing cards and swimming with the gals for me!

We had heard about this restaurant outside of Santiago that was supposed to be really good!!  The 6 of us were up for an adventure so we headed out mid-afternoon as we knew we had to get there and eat and get back home before dark (right - that didn't quite happen - and we weren't on daylights savings time yet) and it took us a good 45 minutes to even get there!

Adventure was the word - we went through Santiago and then were on dirt roads for the next 1/2 hour!  We went through 2 small towns and ended up at the restaurant which is out in the middle of NOWHERE!  An interesting place, kind of like a small ranch with all kinds of animals - cattle, goats (with lots of little babies), ostrich, chickens, turkeys and peacocks!  Along with many types of birds in cages at the restaurant and rabbits!

We were the only ones there and they didn't speak much English but we got ordred!  They had no fish or shrimp that day which was disappointing but plenty of other stuff to order!

It's an open air restaurant and of course everything is cooked from scratch so it did take a while - we walked over and saw the animals and all the beautiful flowers while we waited!

I'd like to say our meal was amazing but it just wasn't - I think we had our hopes set too high - the meal was good but not a place we would drive back to since it took so long to get there!  But always fun to do stuff with friends!

Sunrises - I just can't take enough pictures!

This little guy was in the bathroom off the dining area - what a cutie - and I never saw this gecko again!

Glenn caught a nice batch of trigger fish - one of my favorites!

And more sunrise pictures!  By this time we are on daylights savings time so it took a while to get used to the new time and we were up in the dark for a few days!
