Z town, Family and more Eyeballs

the break from cruising life, a real vacation........
Man this place was a resort,designed and built by developers from Surry BC for themselves untill they got there latest idea, another house up the way. Top floor 4 bedrooms with ensuite each, main floor gourmet kitchen with the works island all counters in granite, oh a sitting room off the kitchen, 10 person dining room , high living area with big screen tv, the entry was well thought out, including a powder room with a full on shower. Lower floor had the pool area, infiniti, like the drop off was some 25 ft,oh yea the kids lost 1 ball a float tube and a pair of googles, kim lost those.The thing was l shaped with a swim up bar and a jacuzzi on one end a ledge that you could swim over or under to accsess the lounge area, could have fit another 15 people. maid quarters, a shop and covered parking with land scaping done by design.The best part was the roof, huge palapa compete with couches tables and a couple of hammocks, did I mention stereo, now if you thought the views were spectacular on every other level the one up here would knock your socks off. You must realize we are way up a hillside, house kind of hangs off the edge, the lights of the bay were something else, it made the whole place magical. We did have an insident the next morning, the propane ran out mid day, during Harvey making beakfast , phoned the maintainace guy, owner drops by with $3000 pasos because its sunday the propane can't get filled till monday. $270 bucks for dinner. We all go down to La Ropa beach have a nice dinner.. The music by the elderly gentlemen was exceptional and Howard thought so as well!!

upon reading three Iskra's that Howard so generously brought for Harvey, Harvey started noticing a shadow appearing agian in his newly repaired eye, We made the desision for Harvey to go back up to Mexico city to check it, he boarded the Bus at 11:30 at night after the most amazing dinner (adults only) at the Italian resturant on the cliff. An odd feeling to drop off your husband in a bus station in Zihatanajo for Mexico City that late in the night, hoping he'll be back within a day or two. Little did I know the next time I would see him it would be in Barra, Harvey needed a RE-SURGERY there was still something pulling on the retina and another detachment was starting. we crossed our fingers and hoped while we lounged at the poolside enjoying the family with a bit of a dampened feeling, Harvey came through good, and needed to stay in the city for 5 days or so to make sure. this recovery was slower and alot rougher. It was hard not to be there.

We proceeded with the vacation from the boat with the family clan and sceduled a beach visit to las Gatos we dicided to hike in , to be adventours well we were mobed by the palapa owners selling us there best seats and finally we settled down only to find out they were out of most things and thier shower was salt water and not to mention the Margaritas were 6 toes and a whole leg. We had fun anyway except nikita stepped on a sea urchin some of us lost our shoes on the way back, we all agreeded the pool was where its at. and decided not to move, We did partake in The international guitar festvial one night , it was the highlight for me, and i think Nikita as well one of the musicians took to him Eric Mcfadden, let him strum a few on his personal guitar and a chat together at the end , here i must mention Howard and lorraine had the best seats in the house and i think Nina and Grant ended up at the musicians table all night.

It was so peaceful and relaxing I think it was a real vacation for us and we have the Vancouver contigent  to thank that for. MUCHO GRASSSY ASS!!!
