Four weeks, anywhere...is a long time, but when the climate is soooo different than what you are used to...it can seem like a lifetime. (Haha, cue dramatic violin music) But, seriously, I was one happy lady getting back to the beach...this beach, MY BEACH.
There were many things different in the Sierras, than at the Coast. My skin, lips and hair were dry, I rarely use chapstick or lip balm at the coast. In the Gated community, I heard gardners with their weed eaters everyday, instead of hearing the loud speakers of the street vendors. The gated community was also a very different place on the weekends, many cars parked in the driveways and streets, and people out with their little dogs.
Very often by 3 pm it was time to close the door, as the afternoon storm came in. Dark clouds, thunder and lightning, sometimes with rain, but others no. And then it started getting cold again. Down to 44F at night while I was there...no gusta!
By the time lunch came around it would warm to 70-80 F how many costume changes can one do in a day? Turns out I like a much more consistant temperature. The low here in Manabi is 72F and high this week has been 88F. As long as you are not in the direct sun walking, and have a breeze, it is heaven...at least heaven for me.
Life is back to normal, so stay tuned...the adventure continues!
