Welcome, and the Pack Grows Bigger

This post is a bit out of place due to the late night the evening Rolly and Jeannie arrived, and the quick fishing adventure the next day. Please understand that sometimes, believe it or not, blogging takes second place to actually having an adventure.

At about 5:00PM the Jurgens arrived. Sounded like their trip went real smooth and they had no problems getting into Mexico. We let them get the lay of the land around the house and then we walked down to Bigote's where we sat for a couple hours having drinks and talking. Dinner lead us to Los Molcajetes (formerly Alcatraz) upstairs, in a building near trailer park. We all tried a different Alcatraz Molcajetes special most consisting of slices of sautéed beef, pork, or shrimp, onions, green peppers, served in a hot stone bowl. Linda had a plate of nachos. We dined in their upstairs palapa while watching the world go by on the streets below. The flavor of the molcajetes sauté sauce was phenomenal and we sat and shared our dishes until we were stuffed.

The town was amazingly busy on this Thursday night. People were everywhere making walking very slow. We kept laughing because it had been so quiet before the Jurgens arrived. Our walk took us to the bank where Rolly took on the ATM. For some reason they could only get a 1000 pesos out at a time and had to work the machine three times or more to get $300. Rolly called the bank in Cd'A the next day and had them fix the account so that he could get 5000 pesos out at one time if he wanted.

We sat in the plaza and watched the crowds move about. then we headed back to the house and sat and talked till about 10:30 PM. I finally gave up and started off to bed, I was ready to get some rest before the big fishing trip. The rest of the pack talked for a bit and then each one tailed off to bed.
