We decided to go and eat out for brunch. Halfway to town, Rosalie mentioned that she wanted to try Las Naranjas somewhere down the highway just south of Jaluco.
It was down a dusty side street but still a very nice place. It was obviously a Mexican restaurant as we were the only Norteños in there. On the way to the buffet, a guy stopped us and asked if we spoke English or French. (?) He had some apartments for rent in Melaque and wanted us to know in case we knew anyone who might want to rent one.
As it turned out the food was not that great and somewhat cold. Next week we go to my choice of restaurant.
Omar said he had to cut down some Cocos for a friend who was ill. I looked at him, and he knew we wanted coco locos. Later that morning he showed up with another friend and they started stripping the coconut palms. In the meantime, three kids also showed up to collect some. They had a hard time carrying them so the young girl dropped hers, lifted up her t-shirt tucked one coco inside and grabbed the shirt in her teeth. She then picked up the other two and went on her way. Later, Omar delivered two cocos to us but we had to go out so had to defer it to another day.
John, Ronda, Rosalie and I went out for America thanksgiving dinner. We only went for the great turkey dinner. John and I had a laugh at the table cloths being red and white but no blue. The next day Rosalie had enough leftovers for us to have her traditional turkey bun.
Rosalie had arranged to meet the young lady, Claudia, who used to her pedicures, manicures and haircuts. She had recently had a baby so has not working. Her husband wasn’t working that day either so she brought the whole family. We had a great time. David (Daveed) her husband doesn’t speak any English but showed interest in what we were saying and we spoke to him a lot in Spanish.
He offered to take me out fishing but I’d rather fish from the shore so politely declined. David Jnr. (about 10) loves fishing so he and his Dad go out often.
The week ended up with meeting Jim and Ylda on Saturday evening for happy hour and a meal. We went to Bugambilia’s for a drink. A huge party of young Mexicans at the next table were having a great time.
After, we walked across the road and had dinner at Ava’s restaurant. Not being finished visiting for the evening we went around the corner to Pata’s bar near the beach to each have a piña colada or margarita to round out the evening.
I wonder what next week will bring?
Likely more sunshine while we enjoy a downpour.
Well Ann, you guys will just have to come down here to have some fun with us!
Yep, more rain and again more rain here – so I’m becoming envious of your Mexican paradise., …hugs
I don’t know where my previous comment went but I said can hardly wait to get into that calm looking ocean.
We’re looking forward to seeing you guys.
