Today, we decided to stay and enjoy the villa. Rebeca, as always, had a great breakfast for us in the morning. We lounged around the pool most of the day. The kids wanted to go back and grab some coconuts from a nearby coconut tree down the block. Rebeca overheard them talking and called her friend on the phone, who has a large property with plenty of coconut trees and a ladder to climb them. She drove them there and came back with a trunk full of coconuts (45 according to Nicky). Pretty soon we were drinking coconut water with a straw after Hugo cut them open with a machete.
Mary went with Christopher to Tejoncito beach, while the rest of us stayed. Christopher and Diego were mixing alcoholic drinks with coconut water.
For lunch we had Tlayudas, sometimes erroneously spelled Clayuda, which are handmade dishes part of the traditional Mexican cuisine of Oaxaca, consisting of a large and thin crunchy partially fried and filled with cheese meat and vegetables.
Carlos picked us up at 5:00 PM to take us to town. We walked around the square, peeked into the church; Jonathan bought a sombrero and Nick a hacky sack. We had drinks at El Patio and ended up at Hemmingway’s where we were served by the owner Alfredo. We had Mojitos, Bohemia beer, Rum & Coke, quesadillas, guacamoles and other dishes.
We came back to the villa around 9:00 PM. Doug, Diego, Alex and Christopher stayed up watching tennis on the TV.
