Fishing In Lapaz

 Since it was SO windy out and no way the guys could fish here in Glenn's small boat, they decided to talk to a friend here and get a charter lined up out of LaPaz - which meant heading to Lapaz on Sunday afternoon for an early morning charter on Monday.  But wait - Jaime has a flight out on Monday and they're taking the car!!

So I called friends and got some numbers for people that do airport runs and we found one to take her on Monday!

The guys headed out on Sunday afternoon - we hung out!

That night was the "Spa" party at friends of ours - we headed over about 5:00 and gosh there were a LOT of people there - probably 50 or 60!!  We hung out with Becky and Larry and I knew the majority of the people there - Mexican food was catered by the local hotel and the rest of us brought our drinks and either an appetizer or a dessert!  There was PLENTY of food for everyone!

FINALLY the wind died down enough that we could sit outside and the dance music started!!  We had a great time dancing to an awesome playlist!  

Meanwhile the guys got checked into their hotel and met their captain of the charter at a nearby restaurant - Glenn enjoyed shrimp cocktail and Brad enjoyed octupus cocktail (sorry, that doesn't even SOUND good to me!!)

They had a great time fishing and caught 11 yellowtail!

SUCCESS!

Jaime's ride to the airport arrived right at 8:00am Monday and she was whisked away!  Sure wish she could have stayed longer!!

Glenn and Brad arrived home late afternoon on Monday - they were too tired to cook fish so we decided to take some fish into El Panzon to have them cook it!  Besides the shushimi below, we had garlic butter and deep fried panko strips - it was all excellent!!

And then it was back home to package up pounds and pounds of fish to give away the next day!!

I ended up giving a lot away that next morning while Glenn and Brad fished one last time here - yes, the wind was coming in once again!!  What a lot of wind March gave us!!

Thursday we headed to the airport to drop Brad off - and yes, he hopes to come again!!
