As usual, the venue extends an offer for a fabulous free breakfast buffet and then a "review" of your arrangements. Our salesman was a quintessential surfer-dude and quite a charmer. Beyond THAT, he found a whole variety of ways to improve the existing arrangements. So for once, it seems things balanced out to our favor.
We worked on a menu plan for the first several days and hailed a cab to the local Wal-Mart. The driver was experienced in these matters and told us he'd pick us up in an hour. We had the usual challenges of navigating with Spanish not even a SECOND language, but worked it out and got on home again. Grilled cheese on home-baked sourdough (we brought three loaves of good bread to sustain us) was the feature for dinner, flanked by an interesting salad of jicama/radish/cucumber/oranges with a garnish of pickled red onions.
