Between the move to another housesitting hill and not figuring out how to hook up to the internet there, it feels like days have gone by since last posting, even though it was only one. AND I missed the lunar eclipse for the Blood Moon yesterday morning.
But I did get the bay, probably not long after the moon was out of the shadows in the dawning.
With virtually no wind, the water of the bays has been totally glassy early in the day, the heat seeping into the cooled night air like that cooling didn't even happen, just something imagined in the dark. What happened to Fall?
Instead of a lunar eclipse, the big event yesterday on earth here was the reopening of Zaco's. Wow! Monika and Harry did an amazing job, with the pitching in of a few others to totally transform the space of the place.

| Yes, the twinkles are added but the feeling was there. The new bar is gorgeous, from stools to bar to liquor display. The bar is done with coins from all over the world, including Olivia's favorite Harry Potter coin. Treasure hunt, game on! |

| Below decks give lots more seating in the jungle. |

| Harry is drinking a new concoction called a...Mexico...something. I forget. What I don't forget is that it is made of Zaco's home aged tequila, from true little aging casks. There's additional bits but I forget what they are. You'll just have to find out for yourself. All I can tell you is I tasted it and it is oaky, smokey and delicious. |

| Oops, I missed getting the aging casks in the photo. Bet you didn't notice that, did you? There are plenty of new drinks on the menu for your tasting pleasure. And a pleasure it is. |

The Zach behind the Zaco's. A place can look real good and if the food doesn't live up to the decor, it doesn't matter much. In this case, the food does, consistantly holding its own good standard. With a few additions, there's more fun to be had ordering!
And onward! There is a low buzzing in the air as winter plans start ramping up for season. Buzzing saws, slapping paint brushes, concocting AWC events, this is how we prepare for winter here. A few more weeks and Abierto will be the sign of the times. Unless you get to Zaco's first.
Have a teasingly temptational Thursday. Do something tastefully transitional.

Wow! I would say you've got a handle on the new camera. Beautiful photos. You are right about Zach. His food is always consistently excellant . It was at Mamacita's and it is at Zaco's.
ReplyDeleteTruth is, I still don't really have a handle on the camera but it lets me get away with cheating pretty well. And yes, Zach does food trust well!
