Cancun Day 7 - Friday - Upset Bracket Day
Maid got us out of bed this morning at 9:50. We hit the pool until lunch.
We walked next door to Paco's Taco's. We ordered the chilpolte chicken nachos as an appetizer.
Sandy got the chimmi-chunga and I got the Gringas (pork tacos with pineapple). I ordered these for Kathy and Shelby since they were not here. I passed on the orange sauce, which after just a taste, burned my mouth for the duration of the meal.
We saw the cousin doing paintings on tile. What Sandy thought was a surfboard in the painting was actually a boat - and not a good rendition of either. We passed on the tile art all around.
After lunch we hit the sun deck and I went to the ocean. After a nap, we headed to the paint shop - they had a Nemo bank - but alas, since they are closed Saturdays, there was not enough time. Oh well. We'll just have to come back.
We took showers and then the bus to La Distilleria for dinner. We each ordered a different version of the flambe steak. They cooked them right at our table side to our order - and they were excellent. In fact, I voted it the best meal of the week, so far. To boot, we had an excellent sun set to enjoy. An overall fabulous evening! Of course I got the better deal because my company was so much better than Sandy's. Or do I have that backwards???
In between all of these comings and goings, we turn on the TV and check the ESPN bracket - and holy cow! There has been upset after upset going on. Purdue lost last night and today Michigan State? That's gonna be a tough one to get over. MS was favored by the most points in tournament history and lost to a 15 seed. Poor Izzo is going to have that record for a while.
And while the Big 10 is not putting on a perfect showing, at least we are not as bad off as the PAC 12, who is like 1-5 or 1-6 so far in tournament play.
We still have one more full day here in the land of the sun. It was a bit cooler today with lots of wind, but still we have not seen a hint of rain. It's been a great week. Oh yeah, by a bit cooler I mean 84 instead of 86 F. We are still winning!
Sandy took her camera to dinner tonight and captured these shots:
