Sail the sea with The Merry Lee

Hola Amigos. Our new cousins took us to a Botanero. It is not in our Spanish/English dictionary.It is a one stop place for family and friends in Manzanillo to have a really good time. We got there a little early at 1:30 pm. We ordered beers and wine. In a short time the servers were bringing us numerous plates of Botanas (appitizers): Cerviche,carnitas,carne asadas, pollo, frijoles, camerones,tacos, guacamole,steamed pork rinds,jicama. No extra charge,all included with the beverages. Mexican Dim Sum. We finally had to say,"No Mas".
Then the BAND started. Bongos,2 brass,drumer,bass, keyboard and 2 vocalists. A really eclectic big band sound: Buddy Holly, Edith Piaf,Tango, Mambo,and Salsa. They have Mexican Keno with a spinning wheel and darts. They have a kid's area with slides,swings and a clown giving kids balloons. You can even get your car washed while you are there. Mexico really is a wonderful country!
YOU CAN GET ANYTHING YOU REALLY WANT AT A BOTANERO!
Our Cousins have taught us that we have to slow down a little,get off the boat and explore this very extraordinary land.
Needless to say, we will be back when we come up north.
ML has restless feet so the Crew of the Merry Lee will leave tommorrow for Ixtapa and Z-Town to spend time with some of our wonderful family for the Holidays

Happy Botanas to you until (we eat) and you blog again.
