Mexican Mealtime

Tulum Pueblo is quiet on Sunday afternoons.  We had a hard time finding a restaurant that was open for lunch.  The Mexican meal schedule is a little different from ours.  This has messed us up a little.  They have a small breakfast in the morning and then go all the way until 2 or 3 pm without eating much and then have their biggest meal of the day.  Then they have another light meal around 8 or 9 pm.

In the late afternoon, Brook and I got out for a run together exploring some of the side streets and it felt very safe.  I’m excited that my knee is responding well to running and I love doing it with Brook.

By the time we biked back into town for dinner, the Pueblo was alive again.  Brook realized that he left his hat and his sunglasses at the bakery where we had lunch.  Mauricio, our Spanish instructor’s husband, told us that bikes will quickly be snatched away here if you don’t lock them up but all other things are far less susceptible to theft.  Brook was relieved that what Mauricio said held true and the owner of the bakery had his things.  We had a pleasurable and satisfying dining experience at an Italian restaurant, chatting at length in Spanish with the owner.
