Mondays here are our do nothing days, So a good sleep-in was the order of the day. We crawled out eventually and hit the surf about 10am.
… broke the nose off his board …
We weren’t out long when in fact Ashley broke the nose off his board on the first wave of the day. It was ready to go since it was creased through from the last surf. Its a shame since he only brought one board with him for the trip, but then on the other hand board repairs a super cheap here and its worth getting it fixed for the price.
… Do you have anything besides Mexican food? …
Brother Eduardo and family had kindly invited us for dinner tonight. They are so nice and hospitable and they turned on the spread for us with a totally Mexican style cook up. We had chicken and rice served with “Mole” pronounced “Mol-Leh”, it’s a sauce that looks like gravey (but blacker in colour) but is actually a mix of herbs and chilli’s ground together with a black bean. (I don’t know the type of bean.) “Mole” is the Oaxacan State traditional dish (Oaxaca State is well known in Mexico for it’s “Mole”). As always with just about every mexican dish it’s served with Tortillas, hot and fresh and straight off the hot plate. “Do you have anything besides Mexican food? – Quote from the movie The Three Amigos” Don’t get me wrong I love absolutely love them, they are so good with chicken, rice and mole. You must try it someday.
YOu have made my mouth water! What kind brothers you have met!!
Do they have any vegies or salad with these dishes or is it just mainly meat and tortillas? Have you had your fill of mangoes, I am very jealous on that score. Thanks Justin for being so diligent and writing these pages for us, enjoying them enormously, and certainly enjoyed the photos. What a lovely place in the world, how is the pollution? Is the water as clean as it looks? I love the duck and chicken photo and of course the guy with the pink towel, he is rather cute.
Hi again Justin and Ash,
Sounds like you’re having an awesome time, I’m sure you’re loving the hospitality of the bros ans sis, it’s the best part of travelling and you always feel so at home when you are with them hey. The photos are ex, such a good idea Chunks as it helps us get an idea of what it must be like there. Mum and I return to Oz on Saturday – bit sad but it’s been great here. Guess what – there’s a cool Australian missionary couple in the Chinese congo here and the sister’s younger sister is Leah Haddad’s roomate in Bethel whom I’ve met, small world hey!
