Reason #9 for choosing Mexico as my 2nd home: People/Culture Part 4 of 3
(Ok, I wasn’t quite finished with my pictorial of people/culture. Here are a few more pics)
Following that great Bucerias Style Omelet, I headed straight for the couch for the mandatory siesta. After what seemed like minutes, I was awakened by my cell phone. It was Brian the manager of several Terralta II condos. I had emailed him earlier asking if I could look at some units in preparation for my 2011 visit. No problem, noon would work, and his wife Gabriela would be around.
I hiked over to Terralta II, waited and walked around for 40 minutes, then left my business card. Perhaps a communication problem…Oh, well….off to YoYo’s for the usual internet correspondence and wondering what route I might take to get home. (to WI) Perhaps Florida. Oh look!, a chicken!
5pm….Happy Hour. Again, the people I meet at The Shamrock never cease to amaze me….A Canadian from Edmonton bought me an Irish Car Bomb. Yes, you heard that right; A Canadian bought an American a shot. Lol. Had a great chat with this young, soon-to-be-married guy who works in the Northern Oil fields 13 hours on, 12 off; 26 days on, 4 days off. Reminds me of my work in England. (lol) He has a home near Bucerias with his Mexican fiancé, and a home in Edmonton.
The Shamrock was very busy with a herd of sailing folks from LaCruz who were celebrating a 40th birthday.
After I left The Shamrock, I headed to the plaza in search of a good movie. I was convinced by the vendor that ‘Caso 39’ with Renee Zellweger was a good choice, so I bought it. (25p) Next on my list was food and I decided to give the ‘never-open-Chinese restaurant on the lateral another chance…Bingo….open! It’s called Matsuri and I easily chose the Cashew Chicken, a favorite, at least at home. Next stop, pick up laundry on the climb home.
Laundry wasn’t done, the movie was only in Spanish with no way to change it, and the food…..it wasn’t great. I was excited to get a fortune cookie and upon cracking it I quickly realized a small problem…it said…”Tendrá suerte en cualquier cosa que se involucre”. I self-translated it to say “Study more Spanish” and buried my brain into one my remaining books. Relax!
Buenos Noches!
