Soggy Peso Sunday

Well it seems I'm a bit behind in my blogging. Last weekend was very busy. Saturday was the fabulous boat ride I've already written about. Sunday I caught up on housework and laundry and then headed out to Soggy Peso Beach.

On the boat ride we learned that Janice and Adele were planning to go to Soggy Peso on Sunday as well. Janice had seen a turquoise ring she wanted to buy. So we arranged to meet them there at 3:00pm. I took Frances and Betsy took Scout. The man from the boat ride, also showed up with his little dog Foxy, a cute little brown and blonde wire haired fox like dog he found on a beach somewhere. We believe Foxy and Scout are now in a "relationship."


A six piece band played blues, and a lot of covers by The Doors, Pink Floyd and Creedence Clearwater. They were good and it was the first music I've heard since I've been here that I thought was of decent quality, although the style of music was too heavy for the taste of some in our group.


As the afternoon wore on, more and more people showed up that knew each other and we were constantly adding chairs to our little table.


The lady on the far left of the table - Kathleen - decided to invite everyone over to her house that evening. She lives just a few doors down from Betsy in a house everyone refers to as "The Ice Cream House" due to it's interesting shape and design. The house has an interesting history as well and I want to tell about it, but I want to include some photos too and I'm out of camera batteries, so maybe later today I'll write a second short blog about the Ice Cream House.

But first, dinner at the adjacent restaurant called The Cotton Club. This is the restaurant where the waiter named Ricardo had introduced himself to me last week and hoped I would eat there. It turns out it's a brand new restaurant. It had only been open for two weeks. The interior decor has a lot of white, and includes a few beds.


Although there was a bit of a mixup with out waiter, the restaurant was very apologetic and sent over a complimentary banana flambe (which I didn't eat, haha). But I have to say, the food was WONDERFUL!!! Not only the best I've had here in San Carlos, but some of the best I've had anywhere in some time. I had sesame tuna and didn't know you could make tuna taste that way. I will absolutely be going back to this restaurant two or three more times before I leave.

The three of us were a bit late arriving at Kathleen's house due to the delay at the Cotton Club, but once there we enjoyed each others talents in the form of singing, dancing, music, poetry.

We came home pooped. Monday it was back to Yoga, writing, and a routine.
