Well, Friday nights in Playa Blanca are as quiet as Thursday nights with only the sound of the waves crashing on the shore! It looks like Saturday night will be quiet, too.
This morning just after breakfast Tobey was looking out the window and spotted a whale. We dashed out of the RV to watch. It was alone, and too far out to take pictures, but we followed down the beach a while watching it head south. We did see it spout, breach and watched its tail fluke before it went under and we were unable to spot it again. What a great start to our day!
On our way back we spotted a fisherman casting his net into the water. It looked like he was catching some really small fish, like sardines. 
The rest of the day was pretty lazy – reading, playing cards (Tobey is winning), walking on the beach, having lunch – repeat! We did stay out of the sun between noon and 4pm because we didn’t want to get too much sun. Tobey took a swim late this afternoon and the water was still pretty warm.
For dinner we went to the Restaurante Sutnam. It had been closed most of the day but there was quite a crowd when we arrived about 6 pm. The customers were really friendly to us, one of the abuelas (grandmothers) came over and talked to us for quite a while. She was very patient with my Spanish. When we were almost finished with dinner, she came over and gave us a hug and kiss and wished us good travels. Their group spanned five generations and had to be at least 30 people. As they were leaving, they were all hugging the restaurant owner goodbye. When I asked for our bill, I also asked the owner if they were her family. She told us yes, and that aren’t usually open on Saturdays, but her aunts had called and asked if she would open for them today. Not knowing, we crashed the party! When we finished paying I told her that “now, we are part of your family, too!” She liked that and hugged us both. We chatted for a while then she wished us safe travels. 
Another beautiful day in Mexico!
