Day 35: Last Day at Casa Juanita

Panino's Bakery

Sue arrived safely in freezing Vancouver last night after ten days in the sun, and has to hit the ground running with work today.

Meanwhile, I will be moving to my new digs at Villas Chulavista tomorrow, just fifty meters around the corner from where I am now. Decided to start the day with an early morning walk on the beach and end at Panino's for their wonderful bagette breakfast and soy latte.

Laying the new pedestrian-friendly sidewalks to the beach

The road crew are busy stamping down the earth on the sidewalks in preparation for laying new concrete. They have planted new palms, and when it is finished it will look very attractive and pedestrian friendly.

They have made good progress with the street repairs in the five weeks I have been here, and the first of the beach access roads is nearly complete with extra wide pedestrian sidewalks and only a narrow road with no parking for deliveries to the stores.

Went to get a haircut, but the place I used last time is closed up and no sign when they will be open. Not sure if there is another hairdresser here, will have to go and see later.

Back to Casa Juanita to catch up on my journal and to start packing up my stuff. Last move I left several things in the apartment, so this time I will be more careful.

I am going to miss Casa Juanita, especially the top unit with its private rooftop deck with the sweeping view from the top of Gringo Hill.
