Another Day in Paradise!! I literally didn't sleep a wink lastnight - possibly due to the strong coffee I had or more likely because of my incessant thinking. My host Gabby has a strange routine with her alarm going off at 5am and then every 5 minutes until 6am when she pulls herself out of bed and off to the gym for an hour - when she leaves her dogs then start to bark and whimper. So as you can imagine there is no sleeping in; this is not me complaining as i feel truly blessed - just stating the facts. The morning therefore consisted of some surfing the net, a workout and then a little reading - true holiday mode! In the afternoon I took a walk along the beach and then headed into the local CBD for something to do. I came across this really cool sport complex that had all kinds of outdoor gym equipment including free weights and bench presses - this is the first time I have seen in Latin America. In the evening Gaby was going to make the very famous Puebla (town where she was born) Mole; but as she was working late it was my task to get everything started. I brought half a chicken to the boil in a pot with a few chicken stocks and half an onion. Later when Gaby arrived she basically recoiled the stock, added the mole paste and stirred in the chicken and it was done. The chicken Mole was absolutely delicious and it makes me seriously question going vegan :)
