Our Condo in Puerto Escondido

We were so happy to finally arrive at our condo near Puerto Escondido. It was very hot (more than 32C) around noon time. The staff greeted us warmly with a cold drink and a cool cloth. They took care of the luggage and we had a brief tour of the place. We were brought to our condo and were so pleased with the view and the layout. Everything is outside except the bedroom and bath. A very high palapa shields us from the elements while we hang out in our living room, dining room and kitchen. This is truly high end camping.The weather is perfect so far and we are enjoying ourselves very much. Yesterday we took part in a turtle release on the beach. Unfortunately we didn't have our cameras or phones with us. It was really fun to watch the baby turtles only 40 mins old scampering toward the sea and being swept out on the waves. The next time it happens I'll be sure to have a camera with me.

We had not stopped to do any grocery shopping but arranged for dinner to be served to us on our balcony. Such a beautiful view of the ocean and sunsets every night. We had spent the afternoon getting organized but abandoned that daunting task in favour of a swim in the pool and a dip in the ocean. (28C). It was heaven after such a long car trip. 

Today we went to the mercado for fruits and vegetables, a store that sells roasted chicken, a butcher shop and then to the supermercado (very much like a Walmart) for everything else we thought we needed. We then went down to the pool to cool off and meet some people we had seen yesterday. Most of them are Canadian - some from Kitchener in fact. It is a lovely place and we have met very welcoming people. And we've been given a lot of good tips and suggestions for making our stay enjoyable. 

I made dinner tonight as I watched the sunset from the kitchen. It turned out really well-yes I was surprised! We are now relaxing on our sofa and enjoying the breeze and the sound of the surf. I can see Venus from where I'm typing and Mars as well. I really like this outdoor living. I will send photos along but I must admit I haven't taken many pictures yet. I do have 3 months though.
