ixtapa & ziha mexico
- we had no choice but to summon the mariachi band.
In January we went to the west coast of Mexico. Mike’s dad and stepmom very generously gave us a week at their condo timeshare at Pacifica resort. This was my third time there. I loved it there because: a. nobody got sick, b. we signed up for the all inclusive buffet so I did not have to plan, grocery shop, cook or clean.
The buffet was pretty good, but this wasn’t a foodie trip. This was a sit on the beach for a week and read books trip. Here are some food highlights in pictures.
man drinks cervesa.
girl loves churros from buffet.
a dead fish, complete with head. really.
we eat loads of fruit at the buffet. especially the papaya.
this girl drinks a lot of (non alcoholic) pina coladas.
mmmm… super-fresh fish with head still on, swimming in garlic butter…
I love buffets for the first part of the trip but by the end I’m HATING them.
Ah, yes the ‘love/hate’ relationship with the buffet. Less work (usually for mom, if travelling with kids) but yes, the food can get tiresome…we ate strategically – late breakfast (fruit and eggs), nacho/salsa/sangria/beer on the beach and then dinner back at the buffet…
