Sayulita Beach, facing North.Sábado, Febrero, Veinti, Dos Mil Diez
Good café! Buenos Dias! Two days and half way into my latest book. Which brings me to Reason #4 for choosing Mexico: The Three R’s: Reading, Writing & Relaxation. Another way to phrase this: Mexico give you time to relax and do things you might not normally do at ‘home’. For me, two of them are reading books & writing, whether it’s my blog entries, my future book, or a paper I’ve always been meaning to write. Down here, you have time to do these things. Things you want to do! I’m not talking about the person that wants to cram 14 days of vacation into 7. That’s different. There are lots of activities for that type. I’m talking about the person who has the ability to take off a month or three. Take your chair, water, lotion, and book to the beach, and just sit back. Picture that! So Reason #4: Reading, Writing, & Relaxation.
Since the condo has a fully furnished kitchen, I thought about breakfast at home this morning. Eggs, salsa, and tortillas. Did you know that in Mexico, if you desire, you can buy just 1 egg? Maybe 8 cents. And every little food store (tienda) has a couple of ice chests warming fresh tortillas, about 75 cents for 2 dz. For the salsa, after politely asking, I simply heaped an extra portion on last night’s street tacos, perfect for my desayuno. (breakfast) But there I go, talking about food and finance. Yum!
10am, got a call from mi hermano, Pedro. Come up to Sayulita for the day/evening. Sounds good, and sometime around noon I was on the bus heading north.
What a bus ride! Just when I thought I couldn’t have more fun for 90 cents, the bus broke down. There I was in a packed bus between two large Mexicans. Felt like an Oreo cookie! Lol A couple minutes later, the driver had the bus running. Yeah! About 3 miles later, broke down again. Oh, this is getting better, I thought. Once again, in 2-3 minutes he had the bus going, but it was working hard to climb the mountain. Yeah, we made it, and coasted into Sayulita about 20 minutes before we left. (the time change makes such travel possible) After some emails, I joined P&S at the beach for some R&R. (see two photos)
It was decided that after a margarita, we would indulge ourselves with street tacos, Sayulita Style. Sandrita y husband own a few taco places called, “Tacos On the Street”, and we headed there. YUM. Added some key lime pie to our dinner, also.
We then took a stroll through town bumping into friends we hadn’t seen since last year. Pedro and I ended up at Macondo, where Richard and MaryAnn the owners, welcomed us and served up a grande margarita. (in the past, I’ve stayed at Macondo, as they have 5 bungalows for rent)
After a few minutes at the beach with a star-filled sky, it was ……
