The theatre of Mexican cuisine

Warm temperatures, brilliant sunshine, a gentle tropical breeze over the Caribbean sea all made for another enchanting day in Riviera Maya.

Our third full day at the Mexican resort provided more opportunities to relax, walk around the complex and enjoy the food and drinks that seem to be everywhere.

Cintra discovered the tequila tasting on the beach and took advantage of this special Mexican experience. She enjoyed it mostly for its educational aspect such as learning about the types of tequila, and the varieties of fruits and mixes that go without. She also discovered tequila cream, another alternative to Bailey’s.

The other memorable event for the day that we happily shared was the Mexican food show, TV style. Not only was this informative and entertaining, it offered an absolutely tasty five course meal, complete with wine pairing. Cintra said she liked the food a lot more than the wines that were selected.

This theatrical dinner, featuring a professional chef and sommelier, seemed to be one of the most popular attractions in the resort. It is one of the few places requiring reservations.

We are feeling reasonably well, including my traces of a cold and moving a bit slowly with my new knee.

More tomorrow.
