Mexico...Day...almost time to think about home

Yesterday was more of the magical same.  Sun, beach, pool, a constant stream of jokes and drinks from Frankie (our fav poolside server).  We had an excellent dinner at Maria Marie with Jose.  We've had such great mealtime experiences here but, Jose takes the cake!  He recommends off-menu items, attends to our every whim and even went to the Tapas place next door to get Will his favorite churros for dessert.  He's awesome.  He introduced us to an after dinner aperitif called a "Carajillo" served over ice including Licor 43 and freshly brewed espresso.  Will, who doesn't drink, finished his first.  It was so delicious!

As we began to think about heading home, it was only fitting today was gloomy, windy and rainy. We took a long walk, shopped for souvenirs at the local mall, visited a really creepy, cool abandoned hotel with a thatched roof and medieval stone structures.  It's completely overgrown with local foliage and looks like it was never rebuilt after the 2003 tropical storm that wiped out much of the area.  We attempted some pool time it was short-lived and a bit nippy.  We have dinner reservations at the "dress code" restaurant tonight.  The boys have to wear PANTS!!  Can you IMAGINE!  Updates and pics to follow.

As sad as we are to leave, important things await - like amazing family, a new home (for the Mason/Steinberg clan), jobs that keep us gainfully employed and more adventures in this crazy life.  For all of these things, we are grateful. 

One more day of excellent people watching, poolside relaxation, constant food and drinks and an endless string of quips, one-liners and hysterical snorts.  We miss you, dear readers but fear not!  We'll be homeward bound soon enough. 

Please enjoy some pictures of our adventures over the last two days and...tip your server.

Obligatory selfie by the pool...

The boys' favorite breakfast ever - eggs on horse (not actual horse meat)

Joely and I found a breakfast favorite as well - chilaquiles (basically, breakfast nachos with green salsa and tortilla chip strips with chicken, cheese, sour cream and pickled red onion.

Grapefruit mimosas for breakfast refreshment

Will contemplating the universe...or thinking about shrimp...probably shrimp.

Our most favorite server, Jose!
