Day 8 ... Lola's and Avellanas Beach

"Markie" previously known as "Marcus" until we learned it was a girl lizard.  She lives in this driftwood by our pool.  Her body is about 10 inches long (not including tail).  She eats a vegetarian diet so no worries.

Today we relaxed at home until low tide so we could explore the tide pools.  We discovered some new creatures in there ... sea slugs, tiny crabs and one bigger crab the we saw for a second before it hid.  After lunch we went to Avellanas beach which is claimed to be one of the most beautiful beaches in the area and has a famous outdoor restaurant, Lola's ... it was a perfect afternoon for boogie boarding and eating french fries, nachos, smoothies, pizza at our outdoor table while drinking smoothies, beer and marguaritias.  Lola's is also the home of a "famous" pig, Lolita.

The best boogie boarder - probably because she is so light!
