Last night we enjoyed an incredible stage production of "A Chorus Line" at the new ACT TWO Theatre. There was a great lineup of gringo and Mexican talent, dance routines were beautifully choreographed. All of the seats (sloped in movie theatre style) are equipped with cup holders for plastic cups of wine, beer or other alcoholic beverages to sip during the performance. Young waiters come around to take your orders. Nothing like a plastic cup of cabernet sauvignon!! Bags of popcorn are available in the foyer. The theatre also houses a small cabaret with plush red seating reminiscent of the movie "Cabaret". We hope to see "The Kinsey Sicks" at this venue before Christmas.
This morning I guided our two house guests, Rich & Harvey, to the fish market on San Salvadore. On the map of PV it looked like about a 4 mile walk but was really only about 3 1/2km. Enroute we stopped at Te Limon for breakfast. Harvey chose a table by the window and we settled in to be serenaded by a road destruction crew and backhoe! Yesterday our breakfast was flavoured with incense, today with exhaust fumes and VERY LOUD NOISE!!!
There was a huge storm overnight. The streets were like mini creeks but the air was sweet and fresh, such a relief from the humidity. At the market the guys bought prawns for dinner, had them deveined and shelled while we shopped for veggies. The skies opened again for another torrential downpour. Road work came to a halt as the excavations filled with water. We huddled under cover for a while and finally made a run for a taxi, getting soaked to the skin. The windows in the taxi were steamed and the windshield wipers didn't work! Our driver navigated through rivers of rain water in a semi-sightless state, avoiding collisions and pedestrians. By the time we returned to the Quinta the sun was shining.
