Last night we had dinner with a delightful pair of gentlemen who live down the road. Mac is an ebullient chap from Oklahoma (with an accent to prove it) and Juan is as opposite as you can imagine; quiet and rather shy. These two bought a termite- and rat-infested unfinished house and turned it into a dazzling home, filled with color, light and art. They have a lovely view of the sea from the front terrace and, if that weren't enough, had the good fortune to buy the vacant lot right in front of them so their view is secured.
The house sat on a barren sand lot, forlorn and neglected. Now there is a lovely patio, beautiful pool, great entertaining space. And they surely do know how to throw a party, big or small.
Delicious dinner, beautiful setting (we moved into the screened-in dining room early, thanks to those pesky sunset mosquitoes), great conversation, good vibes all around. Thank you, Mac and Juan!
(This is delayed because we have had no internet since last Wednesday morning. Now at cybercafe in Armeria.)

Lovely! That pool is especially impressive...
I first read that you had posted this from Armenia. Wow, what travelers!
