Last night we thoroughly enjoyed a Joelle Rabu concert. She sang Edith Piaf songs before intermission and a variety of songs for the second half. Her son, Nico Rhodes, accompanied her on piano. When I talked with him after the show, I mentioned that I was from Salmon Arm. "Oh my God!" he replied "my best friend lives there...Eric Gaw!" Of course we know the musically talented Gaw family...small world. Anyway, Nico is an incredible pianist and during the show he entertained us with a very complex jazz number! Joelle and her son shared the stage and gave us a wonderful evening of entertainment. They currently live in Nanaimo BC.
Today we drove to La Cruz for the market. It was a zoo, a crush of gringos shopping for hand made Mexican goods. We grabbed some nibbles and drove north to Sayulita which was also loaded with gringos. The highlight was a delicious lunch at the beach. These are some of the dishes:
Salad Nicoise with seared fresh tuna.
Veggie stir fry with shrimp.
Chicken souvlaki with humous.
We are all a bit weary of Mexican cuisine and this restaurant offered us a variety of dishes to tempt our palates. I chose a fish sandwich which was delicious (but not photogenic) with a generous topping of guacamole. I doubt that any of us will feel hungry tonight!
