Hotel Marina Puerto Dorado Manzanillo

Well we all knew it would happen sooner or later... We arrived in Manzanillo a little after sunset and set anchor just outside Lad Hadas Hotel/Marina/Resort. We spent several days here and decided to leave around midninght or so to make Pascuales for an early morning surf session. About two miles out we heard a loud knock and the engine started smoking and struggling to run. We cut power and ...

I love Barra de Navidad, it reminded me a lot of home. After a short trip from Tenacatita we arrived in Barra, we passed the jetty entrance and headed toward the lagoon where we would anchor for the next several days. The locals were collecting shellfish from Pangas all over the lagoon entrance and had divers in the water with an ...

... I got some surf in and Helen did a whole lot of relaxing. Our room was literally on the sand. We occasionally had high winds due to a local weather phenomena that happens that time of year. We were only here two full days in this quaint little town but it was long enough for Helen to kick my butt in some pool and take a nap at a table in a bar where we were watching a band. She even forgot I bought her flowers. Some good deeds never go unpunished.

This place was definitely the best surf yet. It was nice to finally see some decent waves, and we were very excited to test them out. As we paddled out we realized that we didn't even have to paddle, that the water was only waste deep. We tried to catch the waves a little farther out so we wouldn't get smashed into the sand. There was this one wave that was a nice left hander so Tyler and I both went ...

... have spent more time in analyzing the situation and recognizing that women need to feel needed and adored. Upon hearing that Barbara of course gave me a look that only a woman can give. Have I learned the lesson? No, it is hard to beat the gene pool that governs ones behaviour, n'est-ce pas? The village of Melaque is nice enough but there is nothing to really grab the visitor. On our walk about town we stopped in at the Coldwell Banker Bienes ...

... She expressed frustration with the level of cleanliness in Barra de Navidad as she repeatedly cleans up in front of her café. She is encouraged that her neighbours are starting to take notice and are cleaning up as well. (By the way, I still stand by my above comments that Barra was one of the cleanest places we visited.)Her kids go to a private international school in Manzanillo, 45 minutes away ...

... new destination as an opportunity for finding something new, having the potential of being surprised, or a possibility of finding the destination that would put an stop to the endless search for that elusive goal which does not exist - the perfect place. Yes, it may not exist but the process of trying to find it certainly is a worthwhile endeavour. As the bus wound its way south through Puerto Vallarta we saw more of a beautiful ...

... yet, so fortunately we have been lucky enough to find places to camp. That´s it for tonight. We should be getting close to Acapulco tomorrow, but not sure how fast the travelling will be. It may be another day after that. It is looking like we should be arriving at the border of Guatemala by Wednesday, maybe Thursday, or possibly friday, who knows. I know this probably sounds a bit disorganized, but I´m pretty tired, so I´m just writing things as I remeber em.

... him raise his head), and the barman who was entrapped by his large circular bar, supporting all the aforementioned. Before he'd even spoke, I sensed the eccentricity of this barmen, in his eccentric bar, and grew a smile.
