We headed north 7 hours to the city of La Serena. For some reason our reservation at Maria's Casa was forgotten so we had an adventure finding a spot to sleep. The owner of Maria's Casa was overly helpful and did in the end find us a place to stay. We went through a few streets and checked about 5 diff locations that were all booked due to summer travelers. Finally we arrived at an accepting location. We were all a bit unsure about this place as there wasn't a sign on the door, in fact the door was actually just a cut out in the brown wooden wall. Surprisingly enough behind the door was a very sweet woman with an equally sweet pooch named Freida. We settled into two separate rooms, Josh and I in one, Katie and Abby in the other.
Time for some eats and maybe a couple drinks...
We found this bar, I think it was empty, maybe a couple of guys in the back when we arrived, but we had to problem making it a happening place. Abby's favorite-margaritas were 2 for 1. We put back a few and a few more, had a great time taking pics and singing along to the 80's music video's. Katie and I were sure we could handle a few more and make our way back to the brown door. Thank you Josh and Abby for pulling us out!
Unfortunately the walk home had a few stumbles. Katie's flip-flops were not helping with the moving sidewalk. On one particular corner the road claimed some pieces of two of Katie's pearly whites.
We made it back. However, as reported by Abby, Katie did not have a restful night. At one point she fell out of bed and suffered from a probable concussion.
Ugg...sorry Katie.
Yet Katie was resilient. She made some phone calls and squared away a dentist appointment upon her return and was back to enjoying the vacation.
