Friday night, we celebrated a bit and cooked up a nice meal of Monkfish tacos with homemade tortillas, salsa, guacamole and pico de gallo. Divine!
Saturday, I went for a jog on the beach while Dave stayed home and played guitar. When I came back, we made a delicious meal in celebration of finishing our space. I cooked up some chorizo, onions and eggs and we ate that with some leftover guacamole, cottage cheese and salsa. Yum! Oh, and MIMOSAS!!! What a treat! I
After breakfast, we sipped on our drinks and finished our bottle of sparkling wine while Dave worked on priming the house and I worked on a new painting. Great day. In the afternoon, I called my bro and then called my house and caught up with my Dad and Uncle Pat for a bit. It was nice, they were funny and waiting for their 2nd dinner of Quonset pizza to arrive. Ha! I would do the same, I’m sure. Pizza is so yum! (As they say out here, instead of yummy).
Dave and I both showered up at the house and walked back down to start cooking up some dinner. We usually have to start cooking around 5pm cause it gets dark by 6 o’clock and cooking outside in the dark is not super fun. We had so much food leftover from the night before, we had fish tacos again. ☺ All we had to do was roll out tortillas, flour the fish and cook both of those up. Sweet as. (Another expression, instead of sweet).
After dinner, we made a fire in the grass by one of the dead tree stumps in an attempt to burn it down. The fire was nice and Dave introduced me to the phrase, ‘Hippie television’. Hilarious. That night we stayed up pretty late and I’m not sure what time we went to bed, but we had fun watching the fire, petting cats and sipping our homebrews.
Sunday morning, I went down to the beach to get a walk/ jog in before it rained. Much of the day it was cloudy off and on, which always makes it difficult to get motivated. Anywho, I found the cord for my camera and uploaded pics to my computer finally. I made a folder for Dave to send to his Dad and one for me to upload to Facebook, then headed up to the house to skype with my fam. I got to talk with my Dad, Mom, Pat and Lupe. It was nice. Lupe has a new puppy which is super cute! She is a little white fluff ball with a dress on. Hilarious!
While I was skyping with my fam, I also was trying to upload pics to Facebook… because it takes forever to upload anything here cause the internet is so slow. So, ½ way through the download they stopped working and I had to start over. It took about 2 hours for me to get all the photos uploaded, then deleted the duplicates, putting them in order and giving small captions. Needless to say that by the end of the computer process, I was ready to do something. Dave and I decided to head down to the beach in a little bit to catch the sunset and drink a couple beers. Perfect! Before we headed out, I made a fococccia bread dough to use for making pizza for dinner. Mmmmmmmm. Just before we headed out, it started raining. Buggar! Oh well, we decided to go anyway and by the time we got out of the orchard, we could see that it would blow over.
The beach was glorious. We put our beers and cups in my purse and stared walking down to some lava rocks we could sit on. As we were walking, we saw a truck on the beach with a rope tied to a tire it was dragging. One of the people in the truck hopped on the tire and they had a good time driving and pulling each other around. Hilarious cheap fun!
Dave and I found a nice spot to sit and sipped our delicious dark ales as we watched the sun setting in the little patch of clouds. The sun put out these beautiful golden rays, peaking out of the clouds and making them glow. It was spectacular and I forgot my camera. Arrrrgh!
Here's a view of the backside our finished house and the caravan!!! :)
