Slept in again Hung our at the apartment. We enjoyed time in the pool as well as sitting in the sun reading, listening to music and the sounds of Mexico. There sure are a lot of them! There are men on bikes that start at 7am and go until dark. They honk a horn non-stop. They sell fresh corn tortillas. So when you hear the horn, if you want to buy some fresh tortillas you come out of your house onto the street and wave the bike down. David and I couldn’t figure out what they sold – it looks like how we get beef from the butcher, wrapped in brown paper. Sitting in the sun, reapplying sunscreen, we both got a little burnt. We got organized and caught a cab into town. We wanted to go to LoLaMita for dinner but they were closed. We went to Brisa grill on the main street. It was fantastic food. David and Melissa both had open flame, street bbq’d rib eye steaks. Dinner came with a baked potato with cheese, the best ever steamed veggies and some grilled tomato and jalepeno. Who knew the jalepeno would be hot?! Just as I was going to have a taste, we do all the time at Olive Garden, David beat me to it. Within seconds of swallowing it he was drinking down the lime margarita on the rocks like water. When that was done he called over the waiter and asked for a bottle of water. No sooner did the water hit the table and the bottle was gone! HOT HOT HOT! The waiter asked to take Melissa’s plate as soon as she took her last bite. She then had to try to explain why she was cutting up the ‘garbage’ on her plate. Melissa was cutting up the scraps for the stray dogs. That margarita that we wrote about was free. It seems to be the thing now. If you walk past a restaurant they hand you a voucher for a free drink. Anything to get business I guess. David and I had never had a lime margarita on the rocks, rimmed with salt. After our first sip we looked at each other and said “People actually like this?” Yuck! We walked down the street to where the old crepe place was and it is now a homemade ice cream shop. 100 pesos for the 2 ice cream cones. They were really good, but we thought it was expensive. We caught a ride with Javier and his dad home to our apartment. Javi took us to a little store in our neighborhood  that sells cheap beer. Bought some beer and snacks and went back to the apartment. While Melissa was putting the beers in the fridge, one slipped out and smashed on the floor. Glass and beer everywhere. It took us a while to clean that up, worrying that our ant problem would be WAY worse by the morning. Apparently ants don’t care about beer. The ant problem is steady. We are using dish soap to try to stop them from coming in but they find new ways. Time for bed!
