I wish I'd taken a video of this.
These four dogs barked up a chorus whenever anyone walked by.

This woman was all dressed up riding around town.
We saw her later with her little grandson
(great-grandson?) riding in the front.

Lunch at Alicia's on the beach with Bob and Gisele from Relax
and Virg from Wildflower.

We left San Blas the morning of 12/18 and arrived in Chacala that afternoon.

One of our favorite spots.

We caught 2 Sierra on the way to Chacala.
Really good eating.

Essentially the Port Captain told us that all the Mexican ports ...
