This was scheduled for an to early start, we had an appointment to get a Covid test. We went up to the main road, and got a bus which took us down to the Malecón, but we apparently did not get the right bus, as it did not take us to the clinic. So, we got an Uber to go the rest of the way. We were a few minutes early, but were taken in anyway. Got our test, then took a hike. Found a place for breakfast (excellent by the way) then out again. Renee’s phone has an interesting way of making sure we get our steps in. On at least two occasions now, it has taken us around a block to get where we want to go. After breakfast, we walked to a fish market, then out to the Malecón again. We walked for a bit. Finally decided on lunch. This was probably the worst service we have had at any restaurant in Mexico. It was so bad, I won’t even put the name here. Just not what we have gotten used to anywhere at a restaurant.
Then thought about a beer and looked up a brewery then we took a little white VW cab to the bar, which was closed (Oh yeah, it is a holiday, so many places are closed), then we had the driver take us back to a place on the Malecón. But it was also closed. About that time we decided to go to the aquarium where we spent several hours looking at sea life. This was a great deal as it cost us about 115 pesos or about $6 each. After this we walked back down to the Malecón, and walked to a Thrifty Ice Cream (Open)! Then got an Uber back to the boat and a nap.
Getting into the aquarium, only one of us could go buy the tickets, Renee’ went and had her temp taken, and hand sanitizer. Then we went to the entrance, and had our temperature taken then went through a spay sanitizer followed by sinks for washing hands, then a lady holding hand sanitizer before we could go in. The aquarium was very nice…the fish were displayed nicely and the shows (native animals, sea lions, and birds) were enjoyable.
Then we took a short hike out for dinner. We went to a little place about a half mile or so away. Renee’ had a salad, and I had ribs. The thought that I had was ribs are usually a relatively small meal. This time it was huge! Pretty good as well, Renee’ said her salad was too expensive for what she got, but we are at a marina, so prices tend to be higher. Then back to the boat showers and bed.
By the way, we received an email from Vineyard church today to tell us about their bilingual service yesterday…a bit late unfortunately.
