Playa Agua Blanca

Tues., Feb. 25

What a lovely day! Roger, Joe, and I got on a local chicken bus and rode down the coast east of here for about 45 minutes and got off at a small village called Santa Elena. From there we took a taxi to Playa Agua Blanca, a beautiful beach with a sheltered swimming and snorkeling area. We hung out at a cafe for over three hours, taking time out from the cervezas and great food to enjoy the water and Roger took a run on the beach.

Tonight we once again took in the sunset on Playa Zicatela with happy hour at "The Spot." Had a light dinner at our favorite taco place. I think we are beginning to see why so many people come to Puerto year after year. It's a pretty special place.

Bus to Playa Agua Blanca
Although this is a public bus, the driver has a pirate theme going on.

We camped at this pleasant cafe. They took very good care of us.

Roger showing us his bolsa. There's a story to be told. I will laugh very time I think of this.

This guy and his extremely cute and active three year old daughter gave us a ride from the beach to the highway where we caught the bus back to Puerto.

Nice!
We are really digging watching you two (and your new Canadian friends) enjoying southern Mexico. Keep writing and sending those pictures!

Nice!
Looks like more fun in the sun. Pina coladas look delicious. I'll have to remember to ask Roger about the bolsa when he gets back. Hi to all.

You're making this look very enticing! Thanks for the response. I think there may be places less savory than others. Like you said, be aware and be smart. These photos could certainly induce a feeling of well being! Have fun.

the baby
Bet you spent time looking at and enjoying the baby. And of course we'll hear the bolsa story sometime?

Baby and bolsa
You are right about the baby in the hammock, what a sweetie he was. I think the bolsa (purse) story was one of those "you had to be there" things and maybe even have a drink or two. Well, you know how women are always losing things in their purses? Roger has this tiny purse that couldn't be bigger than half a deck of cards...and one might he was cussing up a storm because he couldn't find the key to his house complaining it was lost in the bolsa. I just thought it funny that he could lose a key in something so small. It was in there all the time, of course.
