Hola Guayabitos!

Hola from Rincon de Guayabitos, Mexico 2019

We made it back to this "laid back" Mexican Fishing Town

after 7 years!

It's changed a bit but thankfully not too much.
Here is a link to 7 years ago!

Staying at the DeCameron, Los Cocos all inclusive resort made for

a relaxed Winter Get-Away.

Walks on the beautiful beach, no cooking, reading, and eating

3 square meals a day - oye!

While there, we took a Casa Cooking class in Betty Nunez's cozy kitchen in La Penita, 

a town adjacent to Guayabitos.

She taught us and our travel mates how to make the most delicious enchiladas

served with authentic sauces of green tomatillos and red plum tomatoes.

She also made and shared a family recipe of Guacamole - what a treat!

Thanks Betty - you are amazing.

Here we are enjoying  a home-made Mexican dinner. 

Guacamole made in the traditional molcajete (mortar & pestle)

Each day our beds were made, our room was cleaned and there

was some "towel art" left on our bed!

How do the maids do this?

  

While hearing reports from home

of -20C's or more, we enjoyed +20C's here!

Bedtime came early for us most nights but we stayed awake long enough to view the lunar eclipse on January 20th.

There was a surprising extreme high tide the next morning on our beach walk,

all due to the full moon eclipse?

We had early morning walks on the beach each day, where the fishermen

sold their daily catches,

enjoyed the buffet of foods at the resort and tried to get "our" same table

and waiter every meal.

Selfie lessons needed!!!

The Monday market shopping in the town square was so much fun.

Bought some great sun dresses (Mexican made by two sisters - TY Bikinis),

 and gifts to take home. The "TY" booth was always packed with women trying on dresses

as the men stood back in the shade.

Thankfully we had lots of suitcase space to take home our treasures.

La Penita also has a fabulous market on Thursdays and there we had a good feed

of fresh made churros (deep fried long donuts rolled in sugar - oh yum).

I need to learn how to make these!

This resort and area seems to attract mostly Canadians and lots from the Western Provinces.

We visited with some friends that we met here in 2012 who hail from Saskatoon area

and now rent a bungalow for 6 weeks in town. So great to see them again.
(I missed getting a picture of them - Ev and Leonard)

Many folks come year after year to this wonderful place.

Good times were had with our "old" friends forever from home!

Our meeting place! Let's do this again some year.

Till next time ....... Adios and stay warm!
