Breaded Shrimp at Jhimy's and Hot Tub on the Terrace

This pretty much sums up the day. Walked the malecon - slowly as it was quite warm. Did a lot of sitting and watching too. 

Them I made it over to Jhimy's by 1pm for almuerzo. Typical soup. Meaning it seamed to be quite good as everyone was eating it. At least 16 bowls in house and several more by take-out while I was there. Then there were choice of main courses. I had the breaded shrimp with rice, fries and salad. And the juice which I left for the flies. Add to this a large club beer and I had a decent lunch. The juice may have been great but I generally don't drink it unless I know the water came from bottled water in the first place. Many make the juice right from a tap and that is scary on the intestines.

Then I went back to the Ibiza apartment for dips in the hot tub and segments of time spent on the deck chairs.

This is the last full day in this place and tomorrow we move down the street. From this vantage point I can also watch the construction on a new building right next door. Lots of concrete form work and pouring of concrete along with even more work incorporating rebar for strength.

I think my video camera has hit end of life. Many cameras have small button switches that are used for settings and they eventually go funky. My Panasonic tm700 has one I use often to change recording settings. But it is also used to access SD formatting. I brought some cards that had not been formatted and have data from my Sony camera. I cannot even delete the clips. Oh well I have to make the discs last.

The Power Goes Out for the whole Ibiza Building

Another day in Salinas and it started off overcast, windy and rainy. It was into the early afternoon before we went out walking. This time we went two blocks back of the malecon and headed west. Sure enough on the far side of the road we found Jhimy's Foods. A few locals were having some food. At least now I know where it is.

We kept walking a long ways down until we got back to the Cafe Jazz. We were hoping to run into Victor as he had been messaging with me about a day trip up the coast. But the place closes for the afternoon and will reopen later in the evening.

We proceeded over to the malecon and stopped in at the Casa Grill for some liquid in the hot afternoon. The place is also a hotel. We did not order food at this time but the menu seemed promising so we likely will go back for a meal.

On the walk back to the Ibiza we purchase more junk food and drinks. The walk was too long to trust a purchase of ice cream to be frozen for long. Ice cream will have to wait for a later day.

At about five o'clock much of the power went out in the apartment leaving no AC or internet. Some lights and some power outlets still work. The front door staff say the electrical people have been called and the think it will be fixed this evening. We shall see. 

We got the hot tub filled for us but the water was far too cold for me to stay. So after a warmer shower I sat and tried to catch up on the blog. 

Can't cook in the apartment when the only power is from the emergency generator, so I went over to Jhimy's Food for BBQ steak and beer. That was the flavour I needed to finish off the day.
