February 11, 2010. Mexico. Walking.

For the last three days we have been lazy, reading in the apartment or using the computer. No trips on the bus or into towns. Late in the day we take a walk. It is a very pleasant way to spend a day, to be lazy, then take a walk. Normally, mornings are our preferred time for walking, but for the past three evenings, we have changed out routine. It is kind of nice. No destination in mind, no ultimate objective, just ambling along seeing what we can find.

Last evening, after walking almost an hour along the road and back, we decided to stop for dinner at the restaurant just up the road that had opened in December. Twice we had lunch there on our last visit, but now they are only open for dinner, so even though it was early for dinner, we decided to stop, have a beer and wait until they actually opened. When we arrived there at 5:45, the only people there were the musicians and two cooks. The musicians chatted away with us. They are from Montana and live here year round and find that a musician can make a living easier here than in the US.

This restaurant is out of doors so very pleasant and our memory about the food was accurate. The food was wonderful. All put together, our afternoon walk ended us back home at 9:00, fat and happy.
