Mexican miscellany

The second half of my week wasn't only spent by the pool at the Hilton, I swear. A few random moments that are actually connected to being in Mexico itself... 

Moving day, Mexican-style

The salsa bar at Felix's in Cabo San Lucas--super-friendly place enough off the main tourist drag that it was possible to truly enjoy a meal there before fleeing from town, which was otherwise WAY TOO MUCH. (Though it was interesting to learn that Cabo Wabo is actually a bar rather than just a nickname for Cabo San Lucas.)

Pretty gazebo seen while fleeing Cabo San Lucas after dinner.

Meat-roasting spit at Las Guacamayas restaurant on the outskirts of San José del Cabo.

Okay, I have to put a disclaimer on the next two. As someone who has repeatedly humiliated herself in half-a-dozen languages at this point, I want to be clear that I'm not including these to poke fun. I just truly love and appreciate the interesting linguistic things that happen in translation, and Las Guacamayas was fertile ground.


It's a little hard to read the best line. But: doubts? When has anyone ever invited you to share your doubts? So existential-sounding. And you gotta love anyone who does events in the domicile. And then this one, from the guy roaming the restaurant with his guitar:


No; tank you.
