I arrived at the dusty side street, Calle Albatros at the casa which was to be my studio pad for a month. It is a villa with three studio units for rent.  The unit was reasonably clean, basic kitchen appliances, cleaning products, broom/pan/toilet brush, soft bed with fitted sheets/mattress pad, AC, fans, 32-inch flat screen TV, a crystal clear swimming pool, and two terrier mutts named Tyson and Mohammed.  Alas, the Internet does not work in the studio since it is too far from the wireless router.  Marielza (Mari), the proprietor, said she will order an amplifier to boost the signal.  Meanwhile, I work in the outdoor covered patio of the main house which has great view of ocean and the boat entrance channel which leads to the La Cruz marina … a ringside seat for watching boats arriving at and leaving from the marina.

Last night I walked around the dusty cobblestone streets of La Cruz and found a great outdoor taco joint called the La Ballena Blanca  (The White Whale).  Two fish tacos and a Pacifico for $5.00 … muy delicioso.  Will definitely eat there again as I have become a “taco man."  Also passed by Ana Banana’s, a place for breakfasts, burgers, desserts and such where a kids’ birthday party was in full swing ... kids singing and piñata breaking.  I did a short video clip of that.

Later at night, I found my way home with a bit of difficulty as I forgot to bring my flashlight and the side streets have no lighting after dark.   I only stepped into one pothole on the way home without breaking my neck.  I tried to do some Internet work on the patio but the long-legged mosquitoes that prowl here for human blood after dark chased me inside.
