We really feel that we don't get many opportunities to get them out in many of the places we have been visiting here in Mexico. We do know that there a few more places coming up where we should be able to use them, so we are looking forward to that. :-)<br /><br />The chicken lunch was delicious!

We had a nice sail down from Acapulco and pulled into the Bay near La Entraga. Checked in with the port captain and were planing to check out in a day. "Vientos mas fuertes y Ollas mas grandes" we were told, and were not given permission to leave for about 10 days. It was a lovely spot to be anchored for very strong winds and big waves. When we were given permission to sail across the Bay of Tehuantepec it was a calm lake. Winter can have up to 20 days a month of 35 knot winds or higher. We assume the passes into Huatulco can also experience these strong winds. What a beautiful spot Huatulco can be.Myrl & Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17548993971891280980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-81882446016038475452019-01-28T09:05:49.431-05:002019-01-28T09:05:49.431-05:00Absolutely!

OMG the food was delicious and the price was like $5 with beer. I was with a bunch of co-workers working in Yuma and one guy ordered two dinners! The 10 people (me and co-workers) filled the café it was that small. This was years ago so I don't remember the name, location or if it even still exist. In Mazatlán, Mexico I had the best street tacos ever! The guy grilled the chicken, fish, or beef filling on a stone slab and heated the corn tortilla, condiments on the side and the best part each taco was 25 cents!!!
