If you're still in Cabo, be sure to hit Taco Gardenias. It's near downtown Cabo.

Best fish tacos in the world.

Also, there's another great place in the marina called Los Deseos.

Thanks but too late unfortunately. I'm in San Miguel de Allende now. I took the ferry from La Paz to Mazatlan a couple nights ago. I spent one night on a boat (Crazy Collin from the blog) in Puerto Vallarta. Next week I start a 5-day spanish immersion class in Puebla.

I've yet to see any food that I wouldnt totally destroy, and the natural beauty down there is really something to see... I'd like to let a coastal Mexican come live in my place for 6 months a year, and I'll take his place

Its too bad about the that crumbling dream home, looks like it had real potential at one point

Sorry, man! Next time!

You can buy (or infinitely lease technically I think) a nice plot of land in most of these places for like $15k. Some places are sketchier than others about getting the rug pulled out from under you though.

Food looks great and I don't even like fish. Just read your latest blog, looks like you're enjoying yourself and making some memories.:clap: Kudos for doing what 99% of us aging bastards only talk about.

Mole poblano - a highly anticipated food highlight of the trip. Not eating mole in Puebla and Oaxaca would like not eating BBQ in KC.

Latest blog post is up. Suzzer gets into a sketchy boat situation, has some great fortune, and buys a hat.

Not taking picks of the potential cartel guys, and getting the hell outta that hostel both sound like wise decisions

I would've had to get out and throw a line into that little stream outside of Tepic, very picturesque

More crazy good looking food there with the giant bowl of ceviche,and particularly that massive chunk of Chamorro de Adobado :drool:... the fajitas I made last night might as well be dogshit in a flour shell compared to that

Enjoyable read, and eye candy... keep up the good work!

Thanks.

One of the 3 guys on motorcycle that I was supposed to meet up with in Puebla right about now, somehow skidded off the road and into a ditch at 60mph and died. This is not my old friend from KC, but his best friend apparently. I knew him a little as I was working with him on their website. My friend said he died in his arms while they were waiting for the ambulance. (Please don't post anything on their blog or mine or anything yet.)

This happened Friday, just a few hours into Mexico on a smooth patch of highway. These guys have driven their bikes all over Southeast Asia and live in Guam where I'm sure there are all manner of crazy roads. So they weren't bike novices or anything.

And that's pretty much all I know. They're in Zacatecas right now dealing with all that. My friend had to call his friend's family the next day. I can't imagine how awful that must have been.

My trip will go on but I'm devastated thinking about what they're going through. I'm not feeling very adventurous at the moment.

Gosh, sorry to hear, suzzer. That's terrible.

stumppy 01-23-2018 08:33 PM

Sorry to hear that man.

Shit man. That hits close to home.
