Thursday 11/22/12 Thanksgiving, Mexican Style

Plans are made only to change.  We had planned a trip to Cozumel but the morning came too soon and when push came to shove, Kat pushed me to turn over and go back to sleep and my body was only too willing to oblige.

After breakfast, we walked down the street to The Riu to see how the other half lives.  Their beach faces North so you get a whole different perspective of the ocean, even though it is only a quarter mile away.  Very fancy dancy but on the whole, I'll take the place we have been calling home, The Krystal.






After K got her hit of caffeine at Starbucks, it was home to relax.  K got a massage and I kicked back.  We cleaned up and went to our favorite eatery, La Muerda for a Thanksgiving meal, Mexican style.

Mexican Appetizers

Delicious Salad

Again we meet the Mariachis

Mexican version of turkey, gravy, dressing and sweet potatoes.  A fair approximation

Jeff's prime rib

He asked for horseradish to go with his primerib.  This is what he got! ;-) radishes without the horse

Pumpkin Mousse


After dinner, we decided on shooting a few games of pool.  Not as much fun due to a Mexican family playing on the next table with their 4 children, age 3 - 11.  Mom and Dad suffering from too much tequila while the pool table suffered from too much unsupervised nino's.  Pouring a whole glass of coke on the table, sword fighting with cues etc.  Kat drew a sharp line when the 11 year old threw a fast ball with the twelve ball that missed her head by 6 inches.  She literally yelled at the parents to control their children.  Dad started puffing up to protest but Kat would not go there - I was so proud of her!
Ninos Diablos muchos!


Then up to get an early bedtime.  Tomorrow we again venture into the jungle....more about that later.

We wish all our faithful readers a wonderful Thanksgiving.  Don't spend to much on Black Friday and we'll see you soon.
