While we aren’t wastin’ away here, we are consuming our share of that frozen concoction! And I do make a pretty great one, if the truth be told. On Friday morning we headed to Rocky Point with our friend Bill, who has a terrific house on the beach in Las Conchas. After 24 for days doing the Advocare Challenge, I felt I could easily come down here and eat healthy and not drink much and do a great job staying the course. Bwahahahaha! What was I thinking?

The first clue that this might not work was stopping in Lukeville for a 3 beef taco platter. Oops. I only ate 2, but still….Then upon our arrival at the house with my freshly purchased tequila, controy and fresh limes, it was time to start making margaritas! And I’ve been making them quite a bit since then….

On Monday afternoon we planned to go fishing on a boat called Margaritaville. Thinking it was a good sign, off we went to the port. We walked up to the marina and I said “There is no way that thing is 27 feet long.” As we got closer I realized the only seats on the boat were of the plastic stacking chair variety…..What???? Luckily the wind started to blow really hard as we walked towards the boat. The “captain” suggested we come back in the morning around 8 a.m. and try again. And seriously, no way was that happening. Literally saved by the wind! As much as I love to go deep sea fishing, I do not want to get on a boat that looks older than me. Soooo that happened.

We went to a couple of restaurants in Rocky Point. Casa del Capitan sits high on a cliff with spectacular views of the sunset. It’s a place we go to every time we are in Rocky Point. I just wish the food, Margaritas and service were better. All they need is a few tweaks here and there and they could have a great place. I am always amazed that the Margaritas down here aren’t that great. The tequila is cheap. The Controy is cheap. Limes are cheap. And they charge American prices for the cocktails. So why not make good ones? We stopped by Al Capones for a Margarita and some wings to kind of check it out since we thought we might have dinner there. Awful drinks and wings-we did not return for dinner….The other place we went to for dinner was La Curva, which has been in business for over 30 years. Great food, great service, great prices. No views, but who cares? We have great views from the house. I’d rather have good food. I didn’t have the guts to try a Margarita, so I have no idea how they are.

We enjoyed our time there and are looking forward to the next time. We ate in quite a bit and ate quite healthy for the most part-but we did go through some tequila…….
