We went to our favorite restaurant for shrimp, which is Club Nautico at the new marina in centro. You are probably sick of me posting pictures from here; but I can never resist taking a bunch while there.
The food is always good, the service also good, some English spoken if you need it, and the view is lovely.
They moved a table into the shade for us and we sat outside looking at the view. We have never actually sat inside the restaurant to eat, we prefer to sit outside and look around us at what is going on. Seldom any bugs here by the way and a nice soft breeze to cool you off if you are too warm.
Some of the fishing boats and Navy boats/ships tie up at one end and at the other end is the pleasure boat marina, in between is the view of the bay and the other side of the city across the bay. Behind you is of course more of the city and the mountains/hills. What more could you ask for??
We both ordered our favorite Coco Shrimp and sat back, relaxed from our hectic week in our work world (tongue in cheek here) and enjoyed the view and the activity going on around us.
They have a small pool and there were some children playing in it with dad keeping a close eye on them. Later on some boaters came to use the pool also, so perhaps that is included in the slip rental?? No idea really.
The food arrived and as always it was good, we have never had a bad meal here. No room as usual for desert so can't say what they are like. We have never had room for desert so have never tried any of them; but assume they would be good as the main plates are.
Coco Shrimp plate. This is 120 pesos, less than $12.00 depending on exchange, which is fairly high priced for a meal here; but it is worth the higher price. You actually get veggies on the plate and they are not cooked to mush and are tasty.
Some of the views: The first one is the pleasure boat marina. The second one is the restaurant and other buildings at the marina. The third one is the swimming pool, there is also a circular pool that I assume is a hot tub. Having never used it, I can't say for sure. Lighthouse, self explanatory. Fifth shot is the Iglesia de San Fernando in the setting sun. The video is of some of the fishing boats moving around. Not sure if this fellow couldn't get situated properly in his "parking spot" or what; but he kept coming out, turning around and going back in and trying again. Maybe he needed lessons in parallel parking lol.

ah! we saw this being built the last time we were on our way to Emplame. I had no idea it was done. We will have to visit when we come down this summer. Kieth is wanting to do some deep sea fishing, so I will be hanging ou with Jan for a few days while he does his thing.
I love when you post pics, but it makes me want to return to Mexico soooooo bad!
By the way, how are the Spanish lessons going?
Oh wow! The coconut shrimp look delicious. And the other pictures are even more spectacular.
Chrissy/Keith: Gee, when was the last time you were here? The first time we ate there was in Feb. of 2009 and it was open for quite a long time before we ever went there to eat.
Kelsi: ah but that is the nefarious plan,lol, to get you to return to Mexico. lol. Spanish lessons?? Oh, I am extremely fluent in the language now, NOT, lol. Going OK; except for the fact that my lazy brain refuses to remember things, lol. The same old problems with verb tenses of course. I very much doubt that I will ever be fluent. At least now I can understand conversations and participate in them which is nice.
Leslie: Yes, the shrimp are good and the view even better. Glad to see you are going to be blogging more often now that some of the holidays are over.
Brenda, it was in March 2010, but for some reason, they had it blocked off, so I just thought it was under construction.
Chrissy: I see, don't know why it would have been blocked off. They were having some drainage problems down at that end of town for awhile this spring so maybe it was because of that?? That is just a guess, don't really know.
Anyway is a good place for dinner and a relaxing time. Bar there and a coffee shop on the main level also.
