Around six pm, Nacho called and invited us to go to dinner with him for my BDay. The sky was alive with color and some fluffy clouds.
We loaded up in Kathy's new Chevrolet and off to Market 28 for a little dinner party.
Dinner was fantastic! We share a large fish with tortillas, salsa, shrimp cocktails, cerviche' and a margarita! The total bill was 700 pesos (12 pesos to the dollar) under $70. for all three of us and enough food to take home to eat for a couple of days. The food is so wonderful here... Freshness and ripened in it natural environment adds a special favor of it own. The fish we ate slept in the Caribbean Sea the night before..
Nacho, the Royal Resorts Tennis Pro was our host and he is a wonderful friend. We ate and drank as we enjoyed the atmosphere and the local musicians at the open market and eatery.
Becky and Nacho were caught up in the moment and I got the evidence on my camera... But, that is what good food and company will do for you here in Paradise..
The day was wonderful with numerous friends and family sending email, text and some phone calls thru our communication system. I truly appreciate all the thoughts and wishes from so many people..
We are truly loving our new home and surroundings... We do find the language as the biggest hurdle and we need to take the time and focus on it.. To this point we have relied on the local people to help us and they ALL make an attempt to help us on anything we need. We need to put more effort into learning Spanish and not trying to teach the entire Mexican population English...
We do relish the occasional call from our friends (801) 738-1429... It is a standard call to a USA number thru our Magic Jack).. We speak often to Anna, my sister who is in Manila, Philippines on an LDS mission for the LDS church. She has a magic jack too!
Thru Facebook and email we keep in touch with many friends and family... It is a way to stay connected to their busy lives.
