Lunch at Puerta Madera with New Friend Sam

Fly Like a Bird

Gene says: Laurie wanted me to take a ride in one of those things! I'm not sure if they would take me. I'm better at watching from the ground others that want to float around over the ocean.
Laurie says: I want him to do it because I can't! It looks fabulous, but I have this thing with heights and it would be physically impossible for me to do it. Anyhow, if I did do it, I would have a heart attach before I got in the air. All I can think of is that during the civil war in Spain, in order to save ammunicion, they lined up the opposition and forced them to jump off an amazingly high rocky cliff.

So what do you do if you find a really cool apartment in a perfect neighborhood with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms plus maid's quarters which would be a perfect artist's studio and the owner refuses to rent it for less than 12 months?

Lobo del Mar - Favorite Cevicheria

Barranco - Artist Community

After lunch today we walked from Miraflores over to Barranco, the area known as an artist enclave. It was a nice walk - an hour and a half or so, I think. We like this area. When we were here last year, we went there by combi, and thought it was a bit of a trip. Now that we've walked it, without the convoluted route and numerous stops of the combi, we realize it is conveniently close to Miraflores.

Repairing & Improving

We thought the streets were pretty great before, but apparently they need to be nicer. We're going to be watching to see how long it takes to complete this project.
