This morning we stopped in, again, at Bici Burro to see if they were open and if they have a tour we can hop onto for tomorrow. Not open. Understandable. We’ll try again tomorrow but it’s really short notice so it’s unlikely we’ll get on a bike tour tomorrow. Plan B is to go for a visit to Sanctuary of Jesús Nazareno de Atotonilco.

After Bici Burro we went for a scenic neighborhood walk. We climbed up to the Mirador viewpoint but the view wasn’t very good because of a smoky haze. We assume it was from last night’s fireworks. We then walked to the El Chorro park which we visited with Elissa in 2017. Then, we walked randomly through neighborhoods El Chorro (including Parque Juárez), and Guadiana, and then popped back into neighborhood San Antonio on our return.

I was getting a little noshy so we looked for a place for a light lunch. We looked at a few places, but decided to go back to El Correo, where we had breakfast on our first day.
Tonight we discovered a restaurant that does…… only shrimp cocktail. We saw the camaroncito menu from outside, and recognized it was something to do with shrimp (camaron), but… expected more of a menu once we got inside…? Nope. You can have shrimp cocktail… large, medium, small, or on crackers. We both ordered small but holy shrimp cocktail there were a lot of shrimps in the smalls. We couldn’t even finish them.
