Viceroy hotel San Jose del Cabo - Wed, 8 May 2024, 9am
It's another taking-it-easy morning here in San Jose del Cabo. Like yesterday morning I awoke early (sunrise is 5:40am) and relaxed on our deck overlooking the pools. And it's not just this morning I'm taking it easy. Yesterday after coming back from our snorkeling trip I was pretty wiped. I took a nap for an hour or two before dinner.
Dinner last night was on our own. While some of my colleagues went looking for expensive food, likely to use up the dining allowance, Hawk and I kept it simple. Like I've said before, we're generally not fans of fancy food. We found a local-style place within easy walking distance and walked over there. I ordered a plate of two tacos while she got a plate of two small mushroom quesadillas. We split a dish of guacamole to enjoy with our chips. Altogether it was a light meal and not very expensive; about $25 all-in.
Light meals seem a bit strange to us as US-ians. We've become accustomed to the gut-busting portions normalized over the past 25-30 years. I still remember what meals used to look like, though. These were adult sizes in the long-long ago. Which means they left us room to enjoy a modest dessert afterward. 🤣 We split an order of churros with chocolate and caramel sauce at a cafe on the walk home.
Well, back to the here-and-now. It's rolling up on 9am Wednesday morning. That means the lazing around on our deck is coming to an end. In a few minutes we're going up to the lobby to meet our group for today's activity— ATV rides in the desert!
