Is “Churro Man” still around?

[USdiver1]

I seemed to always run into him as I was enjoying my breakfast of french toast at BA. Too much sugar to be adding churros. As for post-dive afternoons, the Mrs. and I would often wander into town, missing the churro / coffee re-vitalization process. Gonna have to go the pre-payment way on my next visit to BA, and just leave the product in the room fridge for some afternoon delight. Sound like a delicious and inexpensive treat. As Oscar Wilde said, "I can resist anything, except temptation."

We kept him in business while we were at BA in August.

I saw him more than a few times over Labor Day at Julio Kin's VIP. I never did partake as it would have given me horrible heartburn during the dive. That's any sweets, not just his food.

We got some raspberry churros from him yesterday in downtown, very tasty!

My husband says he was an engineer. I thought it was medical of some type but that may be because I was in the medical field. So I’m not sure now.

Javier's background appears to be somewhat plastic. I'm a physician. He told me he'd been a veterinarian. My nephew is a veterinarian. He told my nephew he'd been an engineer. My brother's a biomedical engineer. He told my brother he'd been a lawyer. Vet and engineer seem to be the most common. There's no reason someone can't have been an engineer and a vet before becoming a churrero. He usually says he came from México City.

I think the pertinent facts are that Javier is always friendly and fun to talk to and is a great source for delicious churros and personal defense supplies (my wife gets all her pepper sprays and stun flashlights from him).
