Sun rises like this are easy to take.
Our restaurant location makes it difficult to turn down meals like this Snapper Platter last night.
With a morning temperature of 22 degrees and day time projected to 30, we think we made the right decision to hang around for a few more days.
It is interesting that such a nice spot as this, being so close to Huatulco, with almost new Palapa sleeping accommodation for under $15 per night--and it is not rented. Strange how tourists flock to the higher priced city accommodation for two weeks. This little "change of pace" is available at a fraction of the cost and, for a short stay, is much nicer in our opinion.
Adrienne and I were talking about personal safety tonight. Not only have we felt safe in past trips but she actually feels safer this trip. The people seem to go to no end to try to accommodate your stay. We are sure that if we needed help or a ride anywhere due to circumstances, there would be a smiling face there to help us. Unlike Canada, USA and Europe, eye contact, waves and smiles are not a lost cultural trait in Mexico.
Our hosts at "our" beach restaurant have been more than we could have ever hoped for. We get the best drinks, great food and a table on the beach (with gentle waves for background only 15 ft from our chairs) each day. When we are too cheap to purchase their drinks, we head back to Dahlia mix a drink, return to our beachside table and ice is "on the house".
Today, being Saturday, was a fun day. 5 busses and two barge boats brought mostly Mexican families to "our beach". However when you spread 300 tourists between almost 20 restaurants it seemed pleasantly busy and the Mexican kids are so much fun to watch as they spend hour after hour having fun in the ocean waves.
In the evening two of our new friends (Darrel and Val) from Saskatchewan dropped by to set up a Yahtzee game for tomorrow. Oh the stress of this place!! Time for a bit of Bob Marley!!
