I’ve heard of dinner and a show, but not a dinner and a tour… until tonight.
We walked the two blocks from our guest house to Eva’s for dinner. This was supposed to be the hotspot for tourists who were looking for reputable tours in the area. We chose an outdoor table for two, which we soon discovered was for three as we had a cute puppy joining us under the table.
A very ex-sailor looking Scottish man (whom I told had beautiful eyelashes) took our order. I chose a burrito and P.P. got a burger. (Yes, a burger with fries and American cheese…. sigh.) Then he took our tour order.
Scotsman: “What kind of tour do you want to do tomorrow?”
Me: “Um, I want to do the one in the caves where you hike and wear a helmet and see bones of ancient people.”
Scotsman: “Okay, I’ll be right back.
We drank our Belikin beers and waited to see what would happen. In minutes he was back at our table.
“Okay, you need to be here at 8:30am. You will start with a 45 min bus ride and then you will have an hour hike through the jungle. Then, you will have lunch and swim. After that you will hike and swim through the caves and crawl up to see ancient Mayan bones and pottery that was offered as a sacrifice in the caves. You need sneakers, socks and you get to pick what kind of lunch you want. Ham, egg or cheese?”
“What kind of cheese?”
“It’s cheese.”
“Okay, I’ll take cheese.”
P.P. “I’ll take ham.”
And that was it. A few more beers and we called it a night to prepare for our adventure.
The Final Dish: At dinner, “I’m kinda freaked out.”
“About the tour or the cheese?”
“Both.”
