Friday, October 7, continued… After the museum, we headed back to Kosmos. We noticed that most of the piles of mud were gone, and realized that we hadn’t seen the soldiers in a few days.
In the late afternoon, it rained. There was a stunning double rainbow.
On Friday (October 7), we had lunch at Los Compadres. Just like last time, Eric ordered their signature lamb tacos. It was tender, shredded meat cooked in spices and served in tortillas. Christi and Keith ordered carne asada tacos, which was tender, shredded steak cooked with just salt and served in tortillas. The tacos were served with platters of accoutrements. Both the tacos and platters looked much the same as we had at La Huastica.
We’d found out that the museum was in a beautiful building that looked like an old plantation, which was on the street above the street that the grocery store was on.
(Thursday, October 6, continued) In the evening, we decided to continue exploring the area by heading south on Highway One. We’d only been south once, and hadn’t been paying attention as we walked.
The black sand beach was covered in debris from the storm. Here is a before and after.
We haven’t mentioned this, but there is lots of debris floating around the harbor, too. We were pretty frustrated with ourselves when we realized that the very first building to the south of the marina had an auto parts store that sold oil (in the building pictured above).
Santa Rosalia was still fun. We went to a lot of good restaurants. I had delicious chicken tostadas, 3 different awesome soups, some enchiladas, and some good carne asada. We have been eating lots of pastries.
