July 10th

Today we went on a restaurant treasure hunt. We had a map, some vague directions, and a sense of adventure. After several wrong turns, we stopped a young mother and asked (in our best Spanish) where the restaurant was. She answered, in excellent English, "What do you want to eat?"

She suggested that we go to a restaurant on the Malecon called the Bismark-cito. We knew it was a great place because we were the only gringos there!

Here I am with the most delicious grilled shrimp (prawn-size)! Bud had a large seafood cocktail featuring clams, octopus, shrimp, scallops, and white fish. We headed home after two Pacifcos and with full tummies. Yummm.

Bud took the third picture from our table, so you can see how close to the bay we were..
