WEATHER: Beautiful. Highs low 80s
George has an ongoing case of tourista, staying in bed most of the day.
Meredith, Gautham, Alexis and I walked to the beach in front of our house. The beach is beautiful, but the riptides are very strong, so swimming is discouraged.

In the late afternoon, we did a mezcal-tasting at our house. Alexis had arranged this experience online. She found this couple that purchases mezcal from small "mezcaleros" near Oaxaca and is trying to establish a business to distribute it. They came to the house bringing 6 different kinds of artisanal mezcal, and some chicken and pork cooked in banana leaves.
They explained the mezcal making process while we munched on different courses. Meredith made bean/chorizo tostados, jicama salad, Indian rice, and fried fish roe cakes.
We did the tasting outdoors on the patio and watched the sunset. A really unusual and fun experience.
