I'm So Lucky!

I've been here a week now. I think I've lost weight and I'm getting a little bit browner. I'm slowly but surely reconnecting with all my friends and making new ones. Life is good!

Today, I offered to take two of our guests at Casa Andrea, Constance and Jeff from Fort Collins, Colorado, on a little walking tour of PV. Anyone who knows me will shudder at the thought because a walking tour with me is more like a hike. But I digress ... we headed north, towards Gringo Gulch and went up the coloured stairs to Calle Zaragoza. I wanted to show them Gringo Gulch, Liz and Dick's place, and some of the beautiful homes up there. We passed by Cafe des Artistes and El Arrayan. We came out on the main drag, at the top of the Malecon and continued north to San Salvador.

This is where my luck kicked in because we found Northern Delights open on a Sunday at 11:30AM! James, the owner, was inside and we entered this lovely restaurant salivating at the thought of some good old fashioned comfort food from NOTB (North Of The Boarder). We were not disappointed. The restaurant is air conditioned, the water and ice are purified (and free), and the food is amazing! James makes his own bread so we were treated to homemade raisin toast with butter, cut up and placed on the table instead of the usual chips and salsa. Yummm ...

Constance and I both had a small green salad (lettuce, tomato, cucumber, red onion, jicama) with our choice of dressing (thousand islands, homemade blue cheese, italian, etc) for 25 pesos and a small macaroni and cheese for 25 pesos. The macaroni and cheese was homemade and crusty on top. We were in heaven. We ate everything. Jeff had a ham and cheese sandwich, which he ate so fast, I hardly saw it! I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone who wants a "taste of home" while away on vacation. They are open 11AM to 8PM, every day but Wednesday.
