Always an Adventure

I really expected our long weekend at the beach to be uneventful.  Carrie, Michelle, and I planned to spend two nights at a beach hotel on the Pacific coast over our 4 day weekend.  I thought we would relax, perhaps even bore ourselves. What was I thinking? That sort of thing doesn’t happen to us.  The trip started innocently enough.  We set off on Friday morning at 6:00am, missing the Labor Day holiday traffic and sailing down the scenic road to the village of Las Lisas, where we took a lancha (boat) to our hotel, Playa Quilombo.  That day was fairly uneventful.  We read books poolside, enjoyed a phenomenal seafood lunch, played a bit of Uno, took a stroll along the water’s edge, and went to bed early. Looking at the hotel from the shore.  Our bungalow was on the right, 3rd building back. It was Saturday that the excitement started.  Saturday, the ocean waves started growing in size.  We spent some time down at the beach just watching them.  Michelle, who
