Another Sunny Day
by Anne Watcher on Sunday February 3rd, 2008 at 3:19pmIt's another sunny warm day in La Garita. Rob was having his siesta so I went for a walk and picked up a lot of good tips from the others who are staying here.
The couple in Villa 1 are from London Ontario, and she is a bird watcher. We saw blue tanangers and a blue-crowned motmot. She told me a real good butcher shop is just up the road, excellent chicken apparently and he sells eggs by the pound and packs them in a bag so it will be a careful trip home. Her husband said that down the other way there is a winery and restaurant. Excellent food and you can purchase wine there also.
Our neighbours in villa 4 (we're in 3) are from Calgary and they told us that the co-op market in Atenas - 5 kms. away - is a good place to grocery shop. The town also is very cute she said with fruit and veggie vendors everywhere.
Of real interest to me, I also found out that the quilt shop I found on the internet is just across the street and down, near the winery. Can you imagine that, my two most favorite things (next to Rob) right down the road. Oh well at least Rob will know where to find me!!! If I'm not in the pool.
