Waking up to a gloomy sky – or rather, the sky is only visible when standing on the toilette, so either I put my head outside of the room or, well, into the bathroom. Checking the wide world web and it shows me that it’s going to be thunderstorms during the day and night. So therefor I decide against renting a scooter for the day. But I do decide to look up on rentals during the day.
For breakfast I go to the Q’Bravo but it only seats a few guests and after trying to sit down by a couple’s table I find out there is actually a queue – so I go other place. The other place happens to be Loncheria Alexia & Geovanny. It’s almost full but I get a place at a table and later on a taxi driver joins since I’m sitting alone on a table for four. There is a big group of people at the middle table, all seeming (to me) Spanish speaking customers who have ordered before I arrive to the loncheria. Luckily I’m on both vacation and Mexican time, so I don’t really have any rush. The big table’s food comes when it’s ready – you just have to start eating when the meal arrives – just one of the charms with these loncherias (and Mexican?). The old lady that waiters is just taking it in her own pace – which is just awesome to watch, nothing phases her! 🙂
I order the huevos con toncina, lemonade y una café negro – and just sit down for the wait. As many other times I realise that I really need to learn Spanish – I like both Spain and Mexico and would definitely be able to travel South America if I could speak Spanish. During my breakfast I also ponder and not for the first time, how small the native Mexican Indians are, that meaning their height of course. And also the beauty of the female population – there are many local ladies that are so pretty.
Closer to noon and the clouds disperse a little and I brave the internet forecast to head over to the beach. This time I break my tradition and walk further east on the northern beach. The weather is still warm and mostly without wind, so when a cloud covers the sun or a wind gust comes – it’s rather nice. Around 3:30 pm the weather starts getting worse and I head over to OceanVS for a few beer.
This night I don’t know. Where am I to eat? I google, I search my brain, nothing good comes up. Tomorrow I’ll try to have dinner at Limon (unless it’s fully booked), but that’s tomorrow. When at La Lomitas I get some kind of recommendation for the restaurant Comprades. So after a stop at the main plaza – where I got to see (assuming she was from the US) an American with a baby stroller – with a mini version of a dog. What was the problem? Either the dog is to lazy or the owner is…
I head over to Comprades, and well, this is on the main strip, and it shows on the prices. The food is good and the view is nice since I’m watching all the people walking by. What is not good is, this is the second time I get gratitude added to my bill without asking for it – and it pisses me off. I will add gratitude if the service and the food is good enough, but to “force” me to add gratitude is not the way to have me coming back. This is also the most expensive meal I’ve had and definitely not the best – so I won’t be coming back anyways.
