Winding Down

Our stay in Mexico approaches its end in bright, warm, sunny weather. After a little while reading in the shade on the beach we left for the usual Friday night meeting. It was a time of goodbyes and expressions about 'hoping to see you again next year' although that is by no means certain. But what is in this life? We will miss this little congregation with its stimulating spirit, peculiarities and challenges.

We went for supper in Ixtapa afterwards. Carol had heard that the Casa Morelos was especially good, a suspicion strengthened by the fact it is always filled when nearby restaurants have much fewer customers.

I found this photo of it on the Web.

To be sure it did not disappoint. Carol had fish and shrimp, I had a chicken brochette, and the meals were outstandingly delicious.

My hearty compliments to the chef!

Following dinner we stopped for ice cream cones before the fifteen-minute walk home. Halfway through our walk it began to rain, which was unusual. We were all right with that and kept walking. We arrived back around 10:00 p.m. having been cooled the natural way.

We finished the evening with a glass of cold lemonade made with effervescent mineral water. The way they make this drink here is truly a treat. Too bad we don't get this in Canada.

So glad we went to Casa Morales. The meal was perfecto. They sure know how to cook fresh fish here in Ixtapa. A nice touch was the free tamales appetizer we were offered. I really like them but you don't often see them on menus around here, so it was a real treat. They also made a mean margarita.
