Tortilla Soup

It would be remiss if I didn't talk about the food we ate at the all-inclusive Secrets Resort on our recent vacation. Being all-inclusive you eat too much to begin with. I tried to taste food from the region as much as possible.

It was my first time trying jicama (pronounce the 'j' as an 'h'), it is a Mexican turnip and delicious eaten in raw strips, with none of the bitterness of fresh raw turnips.

One night featured Mexican food from the region. It is where I had this delicious tortilla soup for the first time. It starts with ladling a tomato based soup into your bowl. Then you add tortilla chips, cheese, sour cream, roasted peppers and avocado. It was sooo good. I also tried a fish ceviche at another meal, which I also enjoyed.

There was an Asian restaurant that surprisingly made delicious sushi. Apparently the chef had trained in Japan for a year.

It was also fun going on the trip with friends.

La Crucecita

On the day following our arrival husband M and I took a taxi to the nearest shopping square in Huatulco called La Crucecita to do some shopping. We were waiting for our suitcase to arrive and were told this would be a good place to get some clothes meanwhile.  It was a nice reason to see a bit more than the resort where we were vacationing.

Husband M, daughter L, son K and I went with 6 other friends to an all-inclusive resort called Secrets in Huatulco, Mexico. This was in the last week of October. One of our suitcases was lost for a few days and was finally located in Calgary and returned to us intact. It contained my and M's clothes mostly. The Westjet airline said they would compensate us for up to US$250 that we could spend for essentials meanwhile.

In spite of this we all had a fantastic time there. Best of all, we had free wifi so we could have complete internet access.  Daughter L and I enjoyed taking Zumba classes by the pool every day. I will post some more photos in the coming days.  Son K enjoyed lots of room service breakfasts and late night snacks which were included in the cost.
