As you all know, my habit is normally to do one blog a week but I'm making an exception this week by firing off my first "mid-week" epistle in greatly abbreviated form. My primary purpose is to share with you some photos of our trip to Playa Avellanas yesterday with our friend Kenny (you'll hear more about him next week).
Avellanas is 45 miles south of us and is one of our favorite beaches here on the Pacific coast. Getting there in one piece is an award worthy accomplishment and the only vehicle that can traverse these roads without losing half of its parts would be a tank or armored personnel carrier on loan from the military. Much of the distance is unpaved, pot-hole plagued, gravel covered roads containing obstacles that defy description. But the prize at the end of the journey makes the challenge of getting there well worth the effort.
A Dutch entrepreneur chose this spot a few years ago to create a tropical beachside restaurant known as Lola. And, despite its remote location, Avellanas is a popular destination because of that restaurant as well as the reliable surf that provides surf-boarders consistent opportunities to feed their habit 365 days a year.
As one might expect, a beach of this caliber attracts people of all descriptions and I must say that most of them are fit, trim, tanned and attractive. However, on this particular visit, I have to say there were a couple of REAL dogs. And, one of the visitors there was a complete and TOTAL pig. Now, as most of you know, I don't usually make such harsh judgments but in this case, I'm simply calling 'em like I see 'em. That's why I'm documenting the experience with actual photos. YOU be the judge !!!
