Today one of Doreen's sisters (Patsy) arrives for a week, they, she's with Sandy her fiance, will be staying at an all inclusive resort two kms down the road. Tomorrow Doreen's bro' Charles turns up and he is staying with us. Look forward to seeing them all and posting pics of us doing touristy things. I still haven't found anyone willing to zipline - wussies, but everything else will be sampled. There's a rodeo on in town this weekend may get out to see the Charros.
So what to do today, we have already walked 5kms and eaten a hearty breakfast of cornflakes, yoghurt and banana, all washed down with the free MickyDees coffee. Downtown on the bus for sure, we still have to find the lunch bar that offers a free beer with a hamburger. It may not be here most establishments have a very short business life. Coming back each year it is always fun to discover if the cafe you 'found' last year is still there this year.

Tough being here, took a bus (65cents one way) downtown walked from one end of the Malecon to the other, mostly in the shade, arrived at the familiar burger place but no checkered table cloths. Asking the mesaro if the place had changed hands he explained that the owner was stepping back but still owned it, hence the little changes. The burgers were still as big and as good as ever. the one in the pic was advertised as a thick burger with cheese and bacon - and it was. Only 65 pesos a piece. The sad part the beer was not free, but still only a $1.
Walked back up Basillio and caught a bus back to the condo. This time the bus, they are all different, (but as long as you get on one that hasAeropuerto written on the windshield you know you will be going to the right place but you never know the route youare taking) took us through the bypass. Up into the mountains and through the Mexican part of Town and under the mountain through a "Tunel". Definitely a slice of Mexicana.
Quick dip in the pool and now a salad for supper. The salad store is downstairs too. Oh I forgot to tell you I had to buy some more beer!!
So your "full Mexican" breakfast turned up in a post from a couple of years ago, with a fine pic to go with the description of the meal. Have checked and the actual name of that is "huevos rancheros" with lots of variety in the components after looking at a few recipes online. Maybe you can find out if that place is still around and try it again, although it might cost more than 80 pesos. The hamburger looks delicious that you showed, makes me want to BBQ.
ReplyDeleteActually I have moved on from Huevos Rancheros to Chilequilles a mixture of huevos and any kind of meat, refried beans all mixed into nachos and it comes in two choices of colours - red which is medium hot and green which is blinding hot
ReplyDeleteLet's see a pic of that then, along with your red face after eating the green chillies.
