Back in town, we passed by some interesting shops.  This one features "head" tacos.  I think it is cow brains and other bits of meat from their heads.....

Next  to the pier, we stopped at a seafood stand.  The man was selling clams, oysters and scallops to eat raw.  

We watched the guys next to us eating clams.  Then we ordered a scallop.  These are called Queen Scallops, caught here in Kino, and are huge.  We split one.

The owner cracked it open, then cut off the scallop meat.

He cut it up in small bites, squeezed lime over the pieces, along with a watery tomato juice and hot sauce.  Really good!

Then, we walked across the street to a vendor selling fish and seafood.  We bought about a half pound of bay scallops to cook for dinner for about $1.25!

Back at the RV park, we talked with our interesting neighbors.  They have travelled all over the world, and gave us travel tips for our next trip to Mexico.

We joined the permanent residents here for their daily happy hour.  They are really acclimated to the heat. It was a very comfortable 70 degrees, and they were all bundled up, commenting on the cold wind!!

DINNER: One of the best meals we have had in quite a while, if I do say so myself.  First we had shimp cocktail, from some of last night's  extra shrimp.  Then, using leftover grits, I made a take on Shrimp and Grits.  I substituted the scallops we bought this afternoon for the shrimp.   I sautéed them with onion and garlic, then added the grits and jalapeño-flavored cream cheese.  Wow!  We paired the meal with a crisp French Sauvignon Blanc that I had bought in the USA.
