Mexico Part 4: Thanksgiving, Mexican Style

Thanksgiving isn’t exactly a major holiday in Mexico, but we managed to find some ways to enjoy our traditions while away.

We started by returning to the malecón (boardwalk) to do some shopping and sightseeing.

After an afternoon siesta, we drove up the road a little bit to the coastal town of Bucerías. We did a bit of sightseeing along the beach as we had arrived too early for our Thanksgiving dinner.

A local friend suggested we should have dinner at Sandrina’s Restaurant just up the road in Bucerías. It’s a Greek restaurant run by a Canadian expat couple, but they served up a very fine turkey dinner for Lisa and a similarly well-prepared Greek dinner for me.
