It's hard to believe that you could have a more leisurely pace in a place like this. That said, it does appear that the Saturday lunch crowd has turned it down a notch. A slow perfect lunch of enchiladas suises and a marg coupled with some people watching is a nice way to spend the afternoon. One of my favorite places to feed is the sidewalk tables in front of the Hotel Gran in the working class plaza. The table closest to the street gives me a perfect view of the mariscos stand with it's 12 family members working different shifts. The young boys are choppers, the older ones handle the orders and the most senior of the crew gets to wear the one white jacket. Sometimes it's dad, sometimes it's the oldest son or the friend. These three lovely ladies are having drinks at lunch at the meeting of the future sister-in-laws club. Farther down the street Ignacio and Isabella are having a lunch date at the chopped meat stand. If I had to guess they have been married about 79 years. They held hands during the meal as they most likely have done for almost a century. I also got an early morning massage at the local herbal healers shop. To be honest not a bad experience for 10.50 US. After a long hot shower I still have enough oil on my body to deep fry a donkey. Anyone know if vegetable oil is good for the skin?
