Very often, simple activities bring great pleasure. Today, we four did nothing fancy but we had a wonderful day. The morning was lovely with a warm sun and a cool breeze. Our goal was to walk to the mall for lunch and eat at the Chinese take our restaurant. Before we leave Mexico both Ken and I need a hair cut so we needed to make an appointment at the salon in the mall.
Once again, we walked down the bike path, which is down the center of the boulevard. Most of the way is shaded so the walking is pleasant. Doreen and I walk faster than Don and Doreen. I went to make an appointment while Doreen waited for the men. And we met at the restaurant. This is the third year the restaurant has been open. Lots of tables and chairs are in the mall so most people get their food, then sit in the mall to eat.
The food at the Chinese restaurant is acceptable and inexpensive. Their menu offers 6 options plus rice or noodles. For 50 pesos you can get one meat plus rice or noodles. For 60 pesos you get two options and for 70 you can have three. Doreen and I quickly calculated that for $1. more, we could buy three meats plus either rice or noodles. We arrived home with at least 2 other meals.
Next up we ate a dish of ice cream at the other end of the mall. Before we left, Doreen popped into the market for two items we needed. Just after we left the mall, the shuttle came so rather than walk on a full stomach, we took the shuttle home.
At 12:30 we left home to walk to the mall. By 3:45, we were home taking a nap. Our afternoon was simple, but very pleasant.
