A continuation of yesterday’s blog. (as if you didn’t have enough)

4:20 pm Joe Crows for a cold one and post this incredible entry. Lol

5:00 pm Heading to The Shamrock for a couple coronas and one to go….so I can once again gaze on the work of The Artist.
6:30 pm Headed to beach for sunset and a sip of tequila before heading ‘home’. To explain that a bit more, I enjoy sipping tequila, good tequila. Maybe 2 ounces, and too have it linger. No shots, no binge drinking, just a nice slow paced sip of the nectar of the agave. Sweet. That’s what I enjoy. If and when you join me, the first order of business is to search and purchase a proper sipping instrument for tequila. The market in Bucerias has a plethora of styles, sizes and prices. (I hate the overuse of that word, so there is a bit sarcasm hidden in that last sentence.) You can find your own unique glass down here for about 50 pesos. With my bargaining skills, I can get that up to 70 pesos.
7:45 pm Just finished my dinner and I must admit, I loved it. Not bragging, I am very critical about my culinary skills, but this was good. I shall call it…..Diablo Camarones……or devil shrimp…..why? Was it that hot? No….Was it that spicy….No….just because it sounds cool, in a culinary way. I used two large jalapenos in the sauce and after de-seeding and roasting, they were excellent for flavor, but added little heat. Love when that happens. I for-went, or is for-go, the bread with olive oil, the soup, and the salad….just wanted the singular taste of the dish. Let the Chopped Challenge begin!

8:00 pm Downloaded some sunset photos…..OMG…..again, some amazing pics from a $150 camera. Not the operator….I need to get my roommate David down here to capture this pulchritude. (Latin for beauty). He’s good! I shall share a few of them, even though they don’t really do the sunset proper, they are the best I can offer my readers. How do you say….”You really need to be here!” Not teasing, just inviting. Mexico on a Budget will address the cost of joining me…in a later blog entry.
Now for some relaxation, a glass of vino blanco, and a movie. And it’s only 8:16 pm. I suspect that old age is moving in quickly. No comments, please.

9 pm…I want to thank my friends Courtney and Ty for the wonderful dvd they loaned me. Three movies, one of which I watched last night. I am not a movie critic, by no means, but the movie last night, on a scale of 1-10 with a 10 being excellent, gets a 1.5 at best.
It was in a foreign language and demanded attention to the sub-titles. It involved a robbery of an armored car and included two gay violent twins. It did not get better. . It made Broke-back Mountain seem like an early Disney film. The violence and …..not even worth writing….I shall hope the second movie is better.
The movie tonight, the 2nd in the series, rates…. worse. I thought the movie last night with sub-titles was a challenge to watch, I was wrong. This one is mostly in French, with some short outbreaks of English, no sub-titles, and gay. I fear that if I talk in my sleep tonight, it will be in French and that will greatly scare the albino gecko that has visited me twice this trip. So far I have not bought any car insurance.
I am listening to the movie while I write this entry and have not missed anything. (in English)
If I had a remote that worked, I would abuse it. Lol. The yippy dog who was so offensive last night is approaching music to my ears. The 1am rodeo music seems so distant at this moment. Perhaps I shall set my alarm.
I was never so glad to see the credits appear, even in French.
On a good note….The food tonight was good, and the company ok.
Pray for me!
On a side note, thanks to the many friends and family that emailed me about wanting continuous access to this blog. I shall add both of you to my exclusive list. (humor intended)
For others, if you have a good medical plan that includes psychiatric care, please continue to enjoy this blog.
Buenos Noches mi amigos!
