Day Off Beach Bar is a bar just over the bridge in that kind of strip mall area on the malecon. Really lit up with blue lights at night. The guys there are great and we made friends with one of them because he kept screwing up my black russians...oh yea...one more thing....the drinks are ginormous!!!
Now...where was I.....
Time for the Santa Maria boat cruise which goes to Quimixto. Cheap entertainmnet..think it is like 35 bucks for the day. Have done it before and its the usual open bar, snorkeling (can't see anything by the rocks but people try...been there done that). Took the mules up to the waterfall again...but we were different people. Fun times of course. All that was typical...till we were going to get back on the shuttle boat to the main boat. We were slow so we were at the back of the pack. Saw a boat leaving shore way overloaded of course...Waves were pretty rough...first wave....hahaha....second wave....oh..oh...third wave...boat capsized!! 21 people on board, a few trapped under the boat, no lifejackets of course. The locals all swam, boated out to help. Good news no one got hurt...better news...no wait at the bar!!! I took a few photos of the little incident and ended up making friends with a number of the people on that boat! Another plus. Dinner in the condo...off to BeboTero for drinks with one of our new friends. Cheap beers...although on another night we went without our local friends and the drinks were more...special tourist menu....oh well. Usual night cap at Roxy's.
Kind of rained today....ended up Longastinas for drinks. Fun way to spend the afternoon but can't have to many rainy days! Too expensive! Went to Nacho Daddy's for dinner. Nachos of course! Steak on the nachos...very yummy!!! Had some fun at the cuban bar again....roxies to close...Is there a pattern here????
On to some adventure! Zip lining at Los Veronas with some friends in from Saskatchewan!! They loved it!! Me too but we have done it before and prefer the Adventure zip lining. It rained!! Again!!! Took the gang shopping at the market and Cafe Roma's for pizza (very close to the market)!! Had dinner at Moriscos taco stand on the malecon. Ate something with a lot of cheese and mushrooms for really cheap and yes it was good! Early night for my friend and me...let the youngins close down the night...and yes...my adopted sons are still hanging with us!
Friday...end of week one and my daughters last day. Enjoyed hanging out at some local bars in the afternoon learning how to dance salsa from Jesus (runs one of the tequila store). Laughed our heads off. We were pretty much the only tourists here. So fun finding local haunts! Had a nice dinner at Maricios on the Malecon. Too lazy to look for the correct spelling. Had so much red snapper left that we gave it to the staff to take home. The usual....blah, blah, blah....
Poor Tonia...she is flying home.. Non - stop crying going on. She sent me a text from the airport and said "its official" I look wrecked....one of the airport staff asked her if she needed medical assistance..lol.. Poor thing....Mommy's on her own!!!
Went to Banana Cantina for dinner that night. Amazing food!! Saw fireworks on the beach from a wedding. Surreal..... Was one of those nights where bizarre things can happen....ended up meeting a bunch of the people from the cap size boat and danced the night away...it was Saturday after all.
End of week one....whew....I can type a lot!!!Statistics:Posted by chrisnick — Wed May 19, 2010 2:34 am
