Mexico

 We spent 2 days in different ports of Mexico. Manzanilla is an industrial port with hundreds of cargo ships coming and going. From there we drove 11/2 hours to an archeological site that is only partially excavated for lack of funding. 

We had a wonderful tapas “snack” afterwards that doubled as a dinner for me. 

In Porta Vallarta we visited another chocolate farm as well as a honey cooperative. Here are the chocolate pods and honey beer


Driving further we stopped at a beautiful park where we dined blue plastic gloves and made our Mexican lunch. Tamales, salsa, mole, etc. Never knew cactus could taste so good with salsa and a bit of pomegranate tequila to wash it down. We were very excited to get back to port where there was a WALMART and we could quickly run in to get supplies we had either forgotten or didn’t know we would need. Crazy but true.
