A Few More Days

It has been a couple days since I added a new post, but have been going back to add bits and edit bits of previous posts. Most importantly (to me), I have added a number of new birds. I think the most remarkable has been the first toucan (an aracari).

On Thursday we walked the beach again, going to the little village of Potrero. Here they had their weekly market in a covered square. There were not as many vendors as there were at the school, and some of them were the same people. We had a beer at Los Brisas Restaurant on the beach and I had a very good fish taco. Judy brought a bowl of chilli from the market. It is interesting that nobody would object to us bringing our own food into the restaurant.

Friday was another beach walk (after a substantial amount of pool time). This time we walked toward Flamingo and stopped at the Beach House for a beer. To our surprise, they had no beer. Franklin, the waiter, explained that the lawyer had allowed their license to lapse, so they couldn't sell alcohol for a few days. Oops! We did find a beer in another restaurant and then we went back to our unit to listen to Slim Dusty singing "The Pub With No Beer."

The papaya tree was at Pura Aventura.

This campsite was setup on a public access road. (Squatters)

The roots and trunk of this tree served as storage space.
