Monday afternoon, after drying out and warming up after the whale watching, we ventured out for lunch to a beach restaurant called Daiquiri Dicks, where we had booked for New Year's Eve. We started with a Margeherita as we read the menu and I spotted a rather nice fish wrap, with mahi-mahi. The waiter said it would take 25-30 minutes to cook, and asked if that was ok.
Now, if I was in Knutsford for dinner one evening and they said my choice would take 25 minutes, I would almost certainly change my mind. My meal would probably arrive after 15 minutes and so, by clever selection, I would have saved myself 10 whole minutes.
In Puerto Vallarta, of course, I said I would wait for the nice mahi-mahi wrap and, by the way, lets have another round of Margheritas. The meal was wonderful (and early) and we got into a deep discussion of the type that we never have the time for in our normal lives. Another Margeherita followed, then coffee, and before we knew it we'd managed to take 3 hours over a quick lunch.
The weather was still rubbish, but we could have reached over the little wall to touch the sand, there was a dolphin doing leaps out in the ocean, and we were in our little Margeherita bubble for a few hours.
