Tulum, Mexico January 13 & 14, 2014

Another couple, quiet days in Tulum!

Yesterday we walked and walked – all the way back toward Chedraui, not for groceries, but in search of bicycle shops. We stopped at a few to check out rental and purchase prices. If we decide to get bikes, it will be cheaper to buy them, then sell them back to the shop in four weeks than to rent! We haven’t made any decisions yet, but have some options!

After our walk, we came back to Villa Clarita, took naps, then a quiet evening watching a movie and reading.

P1080851Tobey isn’t feeling 100% so today we took a short walk and came back for naps. I spent time in the pool then reading and catching some sun. We have been playing some cards and so far I have won two games of gin rummy! WOOHOO!!

This evening we took a short walk to the pharmacy to get some cold and sore throat medicine and cough syrup before dinner.

We stopped at a very local restaurant we passed on our way to the pharmacy for dinner. There was no menu – just come back to a table by the kitchen and point to what we wanted to eat! I picked the chicken mole and Tobey  had the Bisteck ala Mexicana. (I had the owner write down what Tobey’s was called!)  Mine was served with two pieces of chicken, rice and a mole sauce. Tobey’s was a chopped beef with green peppers and onions in a sauce, served with rice and black beans. (We asked them what was the best and they said the Bisteck). They also brought us a stack of soft corn tortillas and we ordered cokes. Both meals were delicious! Because there were no menus, we had not idea how much the meal was going to cost. We were pleasantly surprised that including tip, we paid $132 pesos – $10US.

No other big plans for the next few days – just relaxing and catching up on some movies.
