Day 1 Cont'd.
Main living area from balcony. I don't know if you can see the pendants, but they were the shell lights...
View of the ocean and beach from our balcony.
The courtyard from our balcony.
LE is a half a block from 5th and Calle 6th, which conveniently has a little store with beer, cigarettes, liquer and little trinkets. It was really great for all those Bud Light runs that Andolyn made, hehe.
Since four of us didn't have our luggage and we were hungry and parched, we walked next door to Fusion for some margaritas and lunch. We were soooo looking forward to our first round of drinks and chips/guac.
Jane at Fusion. I love Jane to death, but she is a total poser for the camera which you will see in later photo, lol.
Trishie and Ando. Luna Encatada is behind them, so the location was VERY convenient for us thirsty girls.
A little background. I have known Ando for over 14 years. We met when she lived in STL and my boys were two, so we have been through a lot of family vacations together. You know how sometimes you just click with people and everyone in the family gets along? Yep, that's us----her daughter is like a sister to my boys. We are secretly planning for her to marry one of them
. Trish and I used to be neighbors and have known each other for 11 years. Laurie is Trish's sis in law, and I was introduced to Jane through Trish via the Elk's Lodge bunko group. Anyway--------all of them are dear friends and we were all sooo excited to be getting away together without any BOYS!!!
