Yesterday we decided to play tourist for the day. Hopped on a bus, not a very touristy thing to do really. Guess we should have got a cab. Anyway, we headed about 8 miles south to Casa Manana. It was the first place we stayed 4 years ago when we discovered San Blas. We have been back every year since to eat, swim in their pool and enjoy a margarita.
It was so nice to be greeted by servers who recognized us and to order spaghetti frutti mari for lunch. Spaghetti with seafood - octopus and shrimp. The sauce has a hint of bacon and is just decadent!!!!! Enjoyed a swim in their pool although the water was icy when I first got in. There was some guy in the water when I got there and I figured he had to be Canadian. We have a reputation for being the only ones that swim in fridgid water. The saying, "It's nice once you get in " is known here as being strictly Canadian.
We headed out to catch the bus and after it hadn't arrived after an hour and a half, I hailed down a cab. We are great at getting to places but getting back home has always challenged us!!!! We had a great day regardless!!!!
The house you can see sitting up on the cliff is where we stayed for two months last winter.
