We now know the meaning of relaxed. Our days are spent drinking mass amounts of coffee in the morning, wandering the streets in the afternoon and eating delicious food at night. If the wind is not to bad we make our way to the beach which we always have all to ourselves. This is a very low key town with very few tourists. Everyone is extremely nice here. We've met some special people who have been teaching us all about mexican food and culture, from this region.

The tiny amount of spanish we know is coming in handy but we definitely foresee school in our near future! The lack of english spoken has forced that part of our brains to begin to open up, unfortunately french keeps popping out! A couple of days ago we were talking to two young boys and they were confused by what we were saying. They then corrected us, looking at us like we were crazy!

We try new foods every day. There is so much to choose from, we usually get a recommendation from someone and go from there - fish tacos, fajitas, burritos, sea bass, shrimp - oh my! So many different salsas, chillies, peppers, the list goes on. We are often in some state of hot flash by the time we are done eating. It makes us very happy that we are going to be eating like this for the next year! Today we were told about 'Damiana' - a yum liquor that we had with orange juice. We liked it so much we headed to the liquor store to buy a bottle "look for the one with the chitties on the front and bummie in the back," we were told. Later our hotel manager made us a tea from the plant that makes the liquor - Delicioso!!

We are in a great little hotel, people here have been coming in and out of our lives for days now but for the most part we have it all to ourselves. We have a huge patio, our own bartender/tour guide (aka hotel manager) and secure parking. This place already feels like home to us. We had planned on staying two days but it will be a week and a half by the time we leave. This is our first gem!!

That food looks delicious and it looks like you are having a wonderful time. We hope to hear from you on x-mas- if not, have a very merry Christmas on the beach! *this is Jen talking, not Craig)
ReplyDeleteJustin.....why are you eating in all the photos? Just kidding man. Looks like a great time. Have a sunny Christmas relaxing on the beach with tacos and cervezas.
