El Gecko With Friends

Our friends Dave and Leslie drove up from Cabo where they had been staying in their time share for a week!  We met for Happy Hour on Saturday night at Smokies, a fun bar where we had watched The Super Bowl the year before!  They DO make good pina coladas!

We had planned on ATVing or the guys fishing the next day but the wind was out of control on the beach!!  So it turned out to be a relaxing day and we met mid-afternoon to go to El Gecko, our favorite beach bar!!

They make table side guacamole which is excellent!!

It's so fun to look out over the ocean and watch the kite-boarders go by on windy days like this!

Dave was adventurous and ordered the dish below - of course none of us can remember the name of it but it's a sauce filled with chicken, shrimp, green onions and cactus!!!  Probably more ingredients but that's all I can remember - and you dish it up and put it on a tortilla!!  I tasted the cactus - it was good with an interesting texture, almost like a pickle!!

It was a great time there and we made plans for the next day, hoping the wind would die down!!
