I have been very close to bull sharks. There is a dive site off the coast of Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo, Mexico where, in January, the female bull sharks congregate before giving birth. You can drop down to 85 feet of water holding on to a mooring chain in fairly swift current to see them. They frequently swim right up to the divers.

I bet it's delicious.
There's a local guy on #Cozumel that makes and sells chorizo at the market. Much better than anything else I've had in the restaurants. It's marvelously smokey!
The eye of hurricane #Beryl passed about 12 miles south of the island. Not much damage; many palm fronds down and much less rain than we expected.

Here on Cozumel, after a scooter is serviced the spark plug is returned with the scooter for inspection. These spark plugs are frequently used as weights for fishing rigs. When snorkeling I frequently find these spark plugs with line and a hook on the bottom, and usually pick them up to dispose of them.

I recently did this in Batumi, Georgia. An old woman on a sidewalk was selling bundles of a plant that had a few small purple flowers on them. As I was swapping 10 lira for a bundle of plants she began crying. I put my arm around her, fished out another 5 lira, and then she insisted we take the her whole lot. We only took two bundles. A passerby said "Why are you giving that woman money? She's selling grass!"
In the past someone taught me to always take what the person is selling. Let them keep their dignity; they are not begging.
I know that my current situation could change to where I'm in the same position.

Has the U.$. government recently become more aggressive on this?
I was recently introduced to eating what the Russians call salo (сало) which is salt-cured pork fat. The block that I'm eating is also smoked. It's intended to be eaten without being cooked. Absolutely delicious. I purchased it at a farmers market in Batumi, Georgia. Here's a photo of some slices from the block.

I took a beginner fly fishing course led by a fly fishing club near me. A couple hours of practice with a mentor watching, I was able to cast and catch fish on my first trip to the trout streams of northern Michigan. Not only did it allow me to cast quickly, I understood which gear to purchase. Perhaps you can find something similar near you.

I love chilaquiles! However, that does not look like the chilaquiles I eat in south Mexico! The chilaquiles served in south Mexico is a portion usually large enough for two people. I hope you enjoyed it!

Yes, they dropped that slogan a very, very long time ago. They became evil a very, very long time ago. I deleted my Google account 5 or more years ago.
