After a lot of sunshine we took our taxi to Playa Carillo, a beach near Samara. This beach is a bit nicer with more beach houses than hotels. Here you can see the sun drop into the Pacific Ocean, but of course it was too cloudy for that. We did see some nice pink in between the clouds. It was nice to get a tour of the town and to see the house Marjory´s family normally rents even though we were seconds away from a head on collision. Our quick taxi driver saved us! We also found some intereting shells here. John called them unicorn horns. John also found a seed that is called The Bull´s Eye! It was magical. It is a beautiful mix of brown that when you rub on something to create friction gets extremely hot. So hot that I have a blister on my hand. Thanks John! Apparently it is used for hot stone (seed) massages. It certainly was cool minus my burn.
Next up was dinner. We walked to town via the beach and no lights. It was a fun adventure. We decided to go to a Soda, a small food stand instead of a restaurant. There we all had steak, beans, rice, salad, and plantains for five bucks a person. John went next door to get us beer. It hit the spot and then of course it was raining again so we took a taxi back to the hotel for bed.
Every time we come by the German couple next door is on the balcony. The minute they see us they go inside. Good thing we only stayed two nights or they really would have hated us.
