Bracing For Dean from Cancun, Mexico

In For The Night?


We’re watching the weather, watching the trees and how they move.  Right now they’re predicting it will go through the middle of the (Yucatan) Peninsula, through Tulum and Chetumal.

They took all the furniture from our balcony so it doesn’t come flying through the windows and told us to close the curtains to stay between the bathroom wall and the tub if we do stay through the storm.

There’s a little bit of wind. We think they’ll wait until early evening to tell us if we’re evacuating. They’re not sure what they’re doing with the hotel zone.

The resort is updating us regularly by phone and online.

There’s not a lot to do –they don’t want you going out to the city. It’s too chaotic. We were doing karaoke at the resort until 11 o’clock last night.

Tonight the restaurants are going to be closed by 8 o’clock.

Yesterday the place was empty, it was just Luis and I and another couple. He sang “Cuarenta y Viente” by Jose Jose, a song about a romance between a 40-year-old a 20 year-old, but he was singing it 60-20. He also sang something by Conway Twitty and another by Brook Benton.

Being that there was nobody there, the other couple kept clapping when we went and we did when they went. Then the waitress sang and the bus boy sang. But tonight we’ll probably stay here in the room and watch TV.

Last night I made a Hildarita, we’ll probably make some Hildaritas again.

How to make a “Hildarita”:

For a plain Hildarita:
Take one lime and muddle it with two tablespoons of baker’s sugar by using a pestle.
Add three shots of tequila and one shot of triple sec liqueur.  Mix with ice in a shaker and pour in a salt-rimmed glass.

For a blue Hildarita:
Follow the same steps as above but add a shot of Blue Curacao liqueur and a shot of vodka.
