Sometimes we go shopping in the large mercado . I just flag the local bus in front of the hotel and it arrives in a pleasant shopping area in five minutes. Some days the kids stay here on the beach with their friends and I walk and check my internet mail at Juanito's restaurant, two miles from the Hotel Sierra . They serve a great breakfast too. But I try and get by.
Mexican people seem to appreciate the effort to learn their language.
Tonight we are going out on the town for the first time. There's inexpensive cab service everywhere. During the week, if the cabby that picks you up is having a slow evening, just ask him to come back and pick you up later. That evening at the disco in town, I noticed the youthful crowd was mostly half my age. Mexican young people love to dance in small groups of friends.
