ah cacao

Day 3 of school and I’m still looking like a deer in the headlights!  We had a couple of extra (German) guys join our class yesterday – they were originally placed in a different group but presumably after day 1 it must have been decided that they should be in our entry level group.  Reading and working with the text book is not too bad but trying to listen and take in what the teacher is saying and then attempting to respond back in Spanish is quite the challenge.

We spent the afternoon visiting with some friends from Calgary; Jamie and Krista are staying at the Barcelo resort just south of PA this week.  If we stand on the beach by the marina entrance we can see the north end of their hotel complex, however we have to drive out onto the highway to be able to go into the resort.  We spent the afternoon showing them around PA checking out the sea lions (who were in a training session), the dolphins and looking around the boats.

We stopped in for an ice cream and then headed back to our condo for cervezas on the balcony.  This evening we all went into Playa for supper and then on to a coffee & chocolate shop called ‘ah cacao’.  While I’m not a big coffee fan I do enjoy their mochas and Malcolm & Krista enjoyed one of their specialties – chocolate cake.  Yum!...

Spot the two rather large pieces of chocolate cake!...

Coffee art at its best
