WEATHER: Another day in paradise
We spent the morning walking on the beach. We had miles to ourselves. It was fun looking at the beach houses from the water side. Many are mansions. They appear to be privately owned (with no one there) and some are rented out, mostly by Americsns.
We had to take home leftovers.
Then we took a ride up the bay to explore. We stopped for lunch at La Palapa (Thatched Roof Shelter). Looks like this....
We had a delicious lunch of fish ceviche and a side of guacamole.
Back at the RV park, we relaxed and talked with neighbors. Most leave their RVs here year-long. For $1500-$2000/ year, they lease a site. They do whatever they want with the sites. Many have built beautiful out-buildings with outdoor kitchens, bars, lounge areas.
This one has an upstairs Palapa party room.
Some neighbors invited us to their sports club for their weekly Friday Social. The club is comprised of the Americans and Canadians who live here. They have a huge clubhouse with lots of activities. Tonight was a Mardi Gras party. The club was initially formed to serve those who go fishing. It is a volunteer rescue squad. Each boater signs out when he leaves for the day. Everyone has big radios and antenna. Then, if the boat doesn't return in the afternoon, volunteers go out to help them.
Then, we walked to a restaurant where a band was playing. One of the musicians lives in our RV park and had encouraged us to attend. Fun!
DINNER: Another neighbor went fishing today and gave us some of his catch.....sand bass. We grilled it on the George Forman grill, and made fish tacos with tomato, red onions, and guacamole. Muy rico!
