It was April Fool's Day and signs of spring were everywhere. Ice and snow were becoming a thing of the past, the temperature was getting more tolerable and rain every few days meant more clouds in the sky.

We decided to rest up for an attempt at a sunset shoot back at Playa Arbolito. On the way back to the Casita from the beach, we actually passed our German friends Lars & Maggie on the road!
