Day 10: Sunset Party

We had a lunch date with Mathias, our personal concierge, to discuss our villa and any questions we might have. Lunch was a buffet. The rest of the afternoon was spent lounging by the pool, walking along the beach, swimming in the ocean and, for Gentleman Caller, boogie-boarding. I did laundry and cooked up some appetizers for our sunset party. My cousins came over at 5:30; we pulled chairs out to the front deck and chatted, ate, drank and watched the sunset, which was rather disappointing because of the clouds. The menu: mini bean empanadas, guacamole, onion dip, Blue Grilled Cheese’s pizza dip, ham and cheese rolls, queso fundita, fruit salad, mixed nuts, potato chips and tortilla chips. And beer and wine. After the cousins left, the artichoke family started a game of Trivial Pursuit 90s Edition. Currently, my mom is in the lead, but it got late so the game is to be continued.

My feet started peeling.
