Jamie and Liam Chew's Blog: 2009-01-31

2009-01-31 23:58 (Kristen) Yesterday's rainstorm has turned into today's norte*, a cooler day with strong winds from the north. The beach was actually cold, so we kept the boys in and entertained ourselves much as we did yesterday. We ate at the hotel restaurant, and Jamie was deeply put out that he didn't have his *own* plate of fish, instead of having to share with us and Liam. We'll try to do better by the boy on Tuesday. Both boys are crazy about the fish here, and given how fresh it is, it's easy to see why. Liam didn't sleep this afternoon, despite my best long walk, so we got to see some of the town at least. John took the boys to the beach for about 45 minutes at 3:45, and I met them on their way back up. John made panuchos for dinner, and we took the boys to the zocalo* for ice cream. Liam was hysterical when it was time to go home, but managed to fight falling asleep until a block away from home. Jamie was very interested in the soccer games in the area (live, in the zocalo*, where a team kicked a ball into a souvenier shop and lost the ball, and on televisions around town), but was also in a very tired, "Let's do everything that will get me killed if my parents weren't so patient and restrained" (this is for you when you're older, Jamie) kind of way. He fell asleep instantly, which was kind of nice.
