Kind of a lazy day. Pat and I both have colds so we’re not feeling too energetic. We laid out on the beach most of the day. By late afternoon we were getting hungry so we took the bus downtown to find a place to eat. When we got off there were a lot of people around, we were looking around – didn’t have any place in mind and weren’t sure which way to go. A Mexican guy came up and asked if we needed help finding something. We said we were looking for a place to eat and he said he knew the perfect place. He took us down Tulum Street for several blocks and I’m thinking “What the hell is this guy doing?” About that time he turned down a little side street and I’m not sure whether to follow him or run the other way. I was too tired to run so we followed him. He took us down the side street to a restaurant – we took a table outside and Hector the protector went inside. The restaurant looked good, the menu looked good, so we ordered. It was a nice evening – lots of people out – so we enjoyed watching people go by. We had a great meal and had fun people watching. The servings were way more than we could eat so the waitress boxed them up, we paid the bill, and walked around some more. After a while we caught the bus back to the hotel. A very enjoyable day.
