... t even step back far enough away from it to get a comprehensive photograph. So we got a few shots of the trunk and some of the branches. And some of the strange neighboring garden in which someone had laboriously shaped all of the bushes into animals. Hmm.<br><br>We headed back to the zocalo in the end and did the only natural thing&#8212;order more food and more beer. Then we taxied it up to La Villada and tallied up Coronas on my &#8216;honor&#8217; sheet, as the boys ...

... got some variable winds and proceeded to sail in at around a knot or two. Who says you can't anchor under sail, that's exactly what we did back outside Las Hadas. Thank god I speak spanish fairly well because having to talk to a mechanic in spanish is much harder than just shooting the breeze with people. Turns out our intake valves are shot. I hope that's all thats wrong with the motor ...

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.

... the mexican version of jaeger. funniest thing ive ever seen! Fordy was ******* himself. I swear this guy was jaegers twin, even danced and walked around the bar like him. We headed to bed fairly early as we had a 9:30 bus out, so we had to get up early for once. We are headed to Puerto Escondido which is a surf town. So I think we were both looking forward to something different, no zocalos and churches for a few days, just some sun, surf, beers and hopefully bikini clad ladies!

... was the former summer residence of Maximilian of Habsburg or Maximilian Emperor of Mexico who came to Mexico in 1864. <br><br>The majestic building yielded few clues to its origin other than the near-by sign "Centro de las Artes San Agustin" and the inscription "Soledad Villa Hermosa" on the facade over the main entrance. <br><br>Furthermore the cavernous inside of the building was dedicated to the display of a huge exhibit of hand made paper. It was something ...

... hook was still in its mouth. The boys next step would have been to cut it open and wash out the innards to get at the yellow eggs that are apparently a delicacy. In death, I would like to give the sea urchin its moment of glory. --------------------------------------- ---------------- Feedback: travelswithlobo@yahoo.com --------------------------------------- --------------------- Coming Soon: Colima: Getting Away From the Glamour of the Pacific Coast

... a beautiful malecón in the city of Campeche located in the Yucatan on the Gulf of Mexico. In Barra de Navidad the malecón is not a boardwalk as it is constructed of interlocking stones creating a wide, slightly winding promenade from which the marvellous view of this unique geographical location can be best enjoyed. Needless to say there are no cars on the malecón. It is pedestrian only and that fact is made clear by a stone arch which marks ...
