I had a busy and good work day, thanks to my no longer being worried about running down the truck battery. By 2:00, I was more than ready to shut down the computer so I could take advantage of the cloudy and cooler conditions today to head for the Malecón. But I had no sooner turned onto the main part of my road that I saw this coming down the street in my direction:

That’s a TelMex truck, folks. As in an internet provider truck. As in I turned right around when I saw my landlady walking behind it. Well, first, I waved at her to confirm that I had this, and then I turned around.

It was the same guy as last year (!) and he was just as lovely. Since the cabling was already installed, it was very quick for him to get me online and he was gone by 3:30ish.

It was too late to go to Maz by this point (since it gets dark around 5:00 and I wanted time to have lunch and a long walk), so I instead went for lunch at Lety’s on the beach here. Shrimp quesadillas with beer and totopos. Is there such thing as bad food in Mexico?!

I think Lety’s is going to be my go-to beach restaurant from now on. The service isn’t as good as at El Velero, but the similarly priced food is several notches better. I would have been happy with just the rice, salad, and pico de gallo on this plate!

Can you see the lime green slice of fruit on my plate? That’s an orange. I only learned very recently that oranges can be green and still perfectly ripe, but they are all artificially forced to turn orange for folks in non-orange growing places who couldn’t wrap their brains around that. At any rate, I had no idea what I was about to bite into and was pleasantly surprised by the very sweet orange flavour!

I’m pretty sure today was the last one at this pace for a bit because I now have no excuse to get back to my other clients. But if I can steal an hour or two a day just to sit on the beach with a beer, if not a meal, it’ll still be an improvement over last year!

Now, to start catching up on my online stuff backlog…
