Winner winner chicken dinner!

Moving along, one step at a time. I did a 7K Sunday stroll around San Isidro, and it looked this:

Leaving the ‘hood.

Sawmill Road in “downtown” San Isidro at 4.8K
Heading back to Alta Vista at 6.4K
Home sweet home

It’s getting to be a Sunday tradition that I feed the girls at Hideaway Bar. Hey, it’s something we can all look forward to sharing. I baked up a batch of brownies for the brown knees and stopped at Chooks To Go:

For some take-out rotisserie chickens.
Dinner is served, ladies!

I shared a few drinks with Joy but did not partake in the meal. I had a hankering for something different. It had been way too long since my last visit to Mango’s beach bar.

It was nice to plop down in my old seat and take in some beach views.
Grilled pork chops, thick and juicy, really hit the spot.
And then the storm clouds came rolling in. Lots of lighting, rain, and wind drove me from my perch back to the safety of the bar.

When the rain subsided, I headed back to the highway. Was surprised to see Queen Victoria open on a Sunday, so I dropped in. I was the only customer, and I could tell they were waiting for me to hurry and finish my drink so they could close early. I’m not saying that in a mean way; they were all kind and friendly towards me, even going next door to buy some soda water for my gin drinks.

So, I had been hoping for an invite from my friend to visit Kamto, but it never came. I enjoy her company but don’t want to intrude on her space as she pursues new opportunities. I’ve moved on, but I’m not at the point where I want to witness her cuddling with someone else. Yeah, I’m pathetic, I know.

Instead, I went to Snackbar. I’ve got to say, the ladies there always make me feel special. Yep, they are good at their job, and I’m always happy to play along. It was a nice way to finish my evening. The trike stand is right across the road, and I made it home none the worse for wear. I am getting better at pacing myself for the “buzz” without the being stupid drunk part.

A decent night’s sleep, then up to face another day.

Let’s start this one with some cranberry muffins. Yum!

It’s Hash Monday, so my standard morning walk is the short 5K trek to and from Baloy Beach.

Back where I started.

And that’s where things stand with me. I’m just going to keep plugging away. Thanks for stopping by; I’ll be back tomorrow.

  1. I did a 7K Sunday stroll around San Isidro, and it looked this:

    I must’ve read that three times before I finally figured out the “like” was missing!

    Food all looks good. “Chooks,” eh? We in Australia now?

    Good luck with today’s Hash! (I assume that’s on top of the 5K trek this morning.) I’m writing this after 3 p.m., so maybe the “good luck” will have to apply retroactively.

  2. Shit! I read it several times and missed the missing word. Sorry about that.

    There you go; I am so out of touch that I didn’t realize “chooks” was Australian slang. The Chooks to Go is a large take-out chain here in the PI. Weird they chose that term, but I guess it works.

    Yes, I do the morning 5K in addition to the afternoon Hash. It’s a mostly flat beach walk, and I have plenty of recovery time, so it is no problem, um, steppin’ up.
