Sangrias and Seashells by the Seashore

Sunday was back to being sunny and gorgeous again. We were told that, when it does rain, it does so for about a day at most and then goes away as if nothing had ever happened. There was no humidity and not a cloud in the sky.

Perfect day for the beach.

We put on swimsuits and comfy clothes and set out in search of a beachside restaurant Beth and Paul had told us about, La Familia.  The majority of the little restaurants along the beach also have a gaggle of beach lounge chairs under umbrellas that you can hang out in and they will come serve you.  At La Familia, these were all full, but we found a table on the patio and proceeded to enjoy some sangria and a little dessert.

To our surprise, Beth and Paul had the same idea.  They joined us at our table and we spent the entire afternoon talking, drinking, taking pictures, and swapping stories.  Beth and I each convinced our husbands to buy us some pretty beach pullovers from the vendor walking around.

We finished up with tea and coffee as the sun started to set, and said our goodbyes to our new friends.  We decided to take a walk down the beach, which was so peaceful and wonderful.  The sand is littered with small shells and stones but not in a painful way.  The water was cold so I only dipped my feet in it then stayed on the sand.  Stephen took some pictures of me on the rocks that we had seen from our terrace a few days ago.

It was very tranquil.

For dinner, we decided to splurge and go somewhere really nice.  There was a restaurant called Max Beach right over the highway from our resort.  It was on the water and split into two sections.  The right hand side was a fine dining restaurant; the left side was a bar.

The food was incredible.  The wine was amazing.  There was a live harpist, candlelight, and the sounds of waves on the shore.

A perfect end to a perfect honeymoon.
