American Thanksgiving today - and I'm going to miss the turkey feast!! But we went for a ride to Teacapan via the beach. The sand was so hard packed we didn't even need to use 4x4 for the most part. We're about 5 miles from town and we got to about 1 mile of town before we had to go inland for the rest of the ride. We clebrated Am.Thanksgiving with Rich and Tina at an 'off the beaten track' cantina where they served us cerveza (one after the other) and brought us food whether we wanted it or not. I would never have ordered what they served us!! Firstly, bean soup. But it was hard to tell what it was, broth with a chunk of grissly beef. Believe it or not it was very good. Next up was a plate of 'popcorn shrimp'. This I did NOT eat! They were tiny little shrimps fried with their eyes and tails still attached. Gross!! The last entre was a fish, don't know what kind, but it was white. It was cooked (fried) on the bones and served up with limes. That was excellent. So - not your typical Thanksgiving dinner!! But good none the less!! The cost: $11.00 U.S. - we had 11 beers.
On our drive back home, via the beach again, we encountered this young man up a palm tree cutting down coconuts ...... can you see him in the top of the tree??
Caught him as he was shimmering down.
