Lo de Marcos, Nayarit, Mexico
Got up about 6:30. Finished packing. Left at 7:20. Walked to the bus station.
7:30 Bought my bus ticket.
7:55 Bus left. Arrived in Lo de Marcos at 8:15. Was in my room at 8:30.
Went from $15/day to $24/day: lost the living room, but gained hot water, tv, clothes hanging area, and an ocean view (from third floor - exercise is good!) with the beach 100 ft away. Oh, and the internet is at least twice as fast.
Did some stuff on the computer. Took a shower. Went to lunch.
Best spot on the beach.
Everything was good. Chicken breast pieces were thin, but there were two large pieces; it could easily have fed two.
Walked the town a little bit after lunch. Got pretty hot. Went back to my room and chilled out.
Went out for sunset photos.
Had a rum and coke at the same restaurant, while taking pics.
They don't serve dinner at this place, so I went looking around.
Walked by maybe six places with no one dining. Kept looking for a place that might be a little bit popular. No luck. Got to remember that the locals are quite poor, which means no dinners out; they might grab a taco or ice cream, but that's about it for the most part.
Not a lot of tourists right now. Season starts soon though.
Found this Canadian bar: a couple guys watching elections (big change in Canada: went from strongly conservative to hugely liberal) and Toronto Blue Jays in the ALCS.
Food service was already closed, and I needed to eat something, so I went looking some more. No luck.
There was this little sidewalk stand grilling hot dogs. I got two and went right back up the street to the bar, had three rum and cokes, went home, checked FB, and went to bed.
