Back to sunshine today and I finally got to spend some time down at the beach. There are two beaches in PA, both an 8-10 minute walk in opposite directions from the condo. This afternoon was spent hanging out at the pool, drifting on an inflatable. This evening we drove back into Playa to meet Bev & Collyne, friends from Calgary who are staying at a resort north of Playa this week. The main tourist zone in Playa is 5th Avenue (Avenida Quinta) where there are numerous shops, restaurants, boutique type hotels etc.
At the north end of Avenida Quinta is a small area known as Little Italy and not surprisingly, it hosts some very good Italian restaurants and which is where we went for supper. We selected a restaurant that we have been to a number of times and which has never disappointed us with its wonderful fresh pasta. You might think it strange that we have yet to visit a Mexican restaurant but we have plenty of time for that as most of the restaurants in PA are Mexican. For the second night in a row, it has poured with rain really hard on the way back to PA – so hard that it was difficult to see the road even though the markings are generally very good. A bit scary but made it back safe and sound.
