01/29/2005 - Friends On The Way South

We would like to devote this page to thanking friends that we have met on the way south. Our first long layover was in Punta de Mita where we met Hector and his family that run the first class El Dorado Restaurant.

Hector hooked us up (literally) with the El Dorado's own fishing tour guide and panga. Ben, Mark, Bruce and Jake brought home 3 mackerals and 1 cocina (spelling?) at the end of the day and I don't which was bigger, the fish or the smiles on their face.


As if catching the fish wasn't fun enough, an even more gratifying experience was to have the pleasure of the El Dorado preparing the fish and serving it to us just hours later for a memorable New Year's Eve dinner. Here is Hector serving our freshly caught fish in 3 different styles: ceviche, fried fish, and fillet.



























And a special thank you to our friend "Wolfie" & Family from Juno, Alaska. We're not sure who befriended who first, but we do know that we had a great time our first night in Zihuatanejo thanks to Wolfie who treated us to a very entertaining evening and mucho grande margaritas.
