Escape to Mexico Part 3: Papacito, Playa Norte and the Mariachi Band
Carrying on from part 2, we had just been lured in by the jolly tequila salesman. I do not remember his name, he asked us to refer to him as Papacito. This seemed a strange mix of fatherly intention and inappropriate undertones, as of course I know that papito means “daddy” in Spanish. He plied us with shot after shot of tequila samples. Mango flavoured, coconut, traditional, then mezcal, a different spirit, also agave based. He convinced us to get a small bottle each throwing in a shot glass for free since we both bought some ridiculously overpriced cigarettes because they were in a pink box and we were feeling impulsive. The cigarettes weren’t pink themselves to L’s great disappointment.
