Made another trip to LaPeñita yesterday. (see Jan 16th entry for more details) Rode along with Loren & Norma. Eastern Canadian and proud of it. It was primarily a meat & fish run. Picked up 2 kg of the best tocino (bacon) in the world, a kg of fresh ground hamburguesa, and 2.5 kg of Dorado (MahiMahi). No, not all for me, but for several others as you try to put your orders in whenever you hear somebody is going up there.
Also stopped at one of my favorite jewelry stores Armando’s and bought a silver money clip, not that I have much to put in the clip, but it looks nice. (see photo) Great store to find good Mexican silver jewelry for a fair price.
Armando is also building some rental bungalows behind his store. Maybe 10 or 12 and I was given a tour. Very nice, large, clean, but not on the ocean, but in downtown LaPeñita, which is a short walk to the ocean. The best thing that appeals to me is that they are very affordable. $20-$25/day with a month long rental. They include a fridge, stove/oven, microwave, kitchen table/chairs, large bedroom with two queen sized beds. Very nice.
A new Italian restaurant opened up in Sayulita yesterday, and our friend Steve the carpenter, who did some of the work, asked us to drop in. No sitting room, full! So P&S and I went next door to the tequila bar and had a taste. Dropped back to the new place, still couldn’t get a seat, so we called it a night. Perhaps mañana!
