Because our buddy, Tommy Beaudwin, feels fortunate to have been born on Cinco de Mayo, he traditionally celebrates in Baja and invites friends to join the fun. We connect with him on the annual adventure whenever we can! This year we met up with Tommy’s entourage in downtown Rosarito Beach, where we did some shopping and dropped into the venerable Papas & Beer (first time I’ve been to Papas in more than a decade! We were far too mellow and WAY too early for drunken debauchery.) Later we hooked up with Team Tommy at the beautiful new cliffside restaurant at Castillos del Mar, just south of town, where Tommy was staying. It was the night of the big Mayweather-Pacquiao fight, so things were a bit crazy. Bob and I loved our shared grilled pulpo (octopus – outrageous looking, huh?) and I was intrigued by these Out of Mexico spices!
