Happy Sunday!

One thing I should have made sure to share with you before I started our vacation recaps (a lot of you asked in the comments on the last post) – YES – the resort was all-inclusive. 

Our 3rd day in Mexico – I decided I needed a break from booze.  Weird, I know!    Perhaps it was from all the unordered shots the night prior, or maybe it was because we were drinking for 2 days straight.  Who can say really? 

Breakfast:

I wasn’t kidding about potatoes and cheese at every meal.

Since we were in a different country – I was trying to be adventurous with my food choices – so I decided to try this thing:

But – I thought it tasted just as appetizing as it looks. 

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THIS FRUIT IT???? The sign translated the Spanish word to “Pomegranate” – but that certainly doesn’t look like any pomegranate I’ve ever eaten.  I googled some fruits – and the inside resembles a passion fruit – but the coloring is off.  Anyone have any thoughts?

After a long morning of napping, laying around, swimming in our plunge pool,

and reading that damn book I really don’t like because I can’t stand the author/main character, but for some reason I keep reading it Eat Pray Love, we went to grab a light lunch:

Cheese – check!  Just missing the potatoes! 

After 2 full days – I finally stumbled upon the resort’s specialty coffee shop – and ordered a mocha AND an espresso, which I drank while playing cards with Mike in the sitting area just outside the shop:

I snagged a tart from the shop as well – which I had no intention of eating – I just wanted the fruit off the top (I know – shame, shame on me for being wasteful!).  Specifically – I was totally eyeing up that fresh fig! I had never had one before!!

Verdict? Ehh.  The flesh was nice and sweet, and I really liked the texture, but the skin was very “earthy” tasting, and a little too thick for me.  I don’t know if all figs taste like that or if this was a weird one.  I’d definitely try one again – I’m just not sure I’m actually a fan!

For dinner – I begged Mike to go to the Pan-Asian themed restaurant, Himitsu:

and he finally caved!    There was a wait – so we did end up grabbing an alcoholic beverage while we waited:

Once we were finally seated – we started with the Dim Sum to split:

and each got 2 extra treats just plopped down in front of us on the table:

We aren’t really sure what was in them – the only word we could understand was pork – but they were delicious nonetheless! 

For my entree – I ordered the Chicken Pad Thai:

which was pretty good – but oddly sweet, and not at ALL spicy which of course made me sad.  Some of you may know I am just slightly reliant on Frank’s Red Hot Sauce, perhaps my tastebuds are skewed…

Then we went and watched the sunset at the Jurassic Park Lobby Bar:

Not a bad day at all…
