Puerto egg and level fiesta

So last night I thought I'd try a get a few photos of the moon rising and practise some night photography on the beach.  Here are some of the results.



On the way down to the beach I ran into Dr Kennedy who was going to meet a few people for dinner and invited me along. Fausto, a mexican guy who works at the school, took us to a little local place where we had tacos and this soup thing.  It was so good.  The soup was like a simple broth which you could get with chicken or beef or with both.  So I got both.  The beef I'm pretty sure was pork, but it was pretty tasty anyway.

Then in the way of the Mexicans you add a heap of things to the soup, ie. peppers, onion, lime and lettuce.  Yep, warm lettuce in your soup.  I was like I might pass on that one.  But then I added too many peppers and needed something to cancel out the heat a bit, so ended up piling in the lettuce.  And the whole thing was so damn tasty!

After that we went to Sativa, a bar with a rooftop deck that overlooks the ocean.  It's a great little bar, although unsurprisingly a little quiet on a Monday night.  The people who run the place are good value though, so it's fast becoming one of my fave places for a quiet beer.
