Holy crap, I was blown away by dinner tonight. Forget about all that BS people say about AI restaurants vs. independents, I just ate the very best steak I've ever had in Cozumel at the Sonora steakhouse at the OG. Starter was an excellent Aztec soup, a chili-tomato broth with tortilla strips and diced panela cheese. Then I had the filete arriera, a perfectly grilled medium-rare 10 oz filet without any fat or gristle that easily exceeded the quality of "choice" steaks I've had in the states at $25-$30. The potato and onion saute that accompanied it could have been more flavorable, or a sauce included, but it far exceeded my expectations from an AI (and was much better than any steak I had at the more-expensive Cozumel Palace). Dessert was a mediocre "chocoflan" - I'd had better in La Paz - but they made up for it by making me a decaf "special" coffee with Kahlua and Xtabentun, with the traditionally crystallized red sugar around the rim and a healthy dollop of real whipped cream. Total price: $0, but I left a fiver on the table to show my appreciation.
Both strobe batteries charged, will quickly assemble them tomorrow before my oh-so-nicely-late 8:15 pickup. For now, I'm surprised I made it up this late after my 2 hours of sleep last night. Goodnight Scubaboard, and please stay tuned for Mossman in Cozumel, day 2!
