I’ve been working on a file from hell the last couple of days that took almost twice as long to do as it should have. Even though I have another big job due tomorrow night, I’ve been typing since 6AM and decided to quit at 1:00.<\/p>\n
I emailed Dale mid morning to see if she wanted to go for a walk on the beach. She was more in the mood to go for a beer and wanted to try the Puesta del Sol restaurant because it advertised 15 peso beers, the cheapest price we’ve seen outside a grocery store. I had planned to get chicken for lunch, so I decided to instead get food at the restaurant.<\/p>\n
Puesta del Sol is the Gringoest restaurant on the beach in that it’s where all the tour groups go. So I don’t know why I was shocked by the English menu in U.S. dollars. I asked if they had one in pesos and was told it’s only in Spanish. Not a problem. I just like to know how much I’m spending!<\/p>\n
Dale ordered her usual, nachos with cheese, and they were terrible! They were covered in viscous bright orange processed ‘Nacho cheese’ like you’d get at a cinema back home. Yikes! What a waste of 60 pesos!<\/p>\n
I ordered their fish ceviche for 85 pesos and was very<\/em> happy with my lunch! Thank goodness! The portion was huge, almost more than I could eat, with the fish being mixed with grated carrots and ‘cooked’ in what I think was a mixture of both lime and orange juice. It was fresh, zesty, and dang good with a pile of chips! 85 pesos felt like a good deal and not just for a Gringo restaurant, so I’m pleased.<\/p>\n Our Pacificos were, indeed, only 15 pesos. So we would definitely go back to Puesta del Sol for a drink, but not for nachos!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’ve been working on a file from hell the last couple of days that took almost twice as long to do as it should have.
