Thankful Thursday April 21, 2022

I am so thankful for all the wildlife we

have around us. I cannot imagine being

someplace where I could not see our

winged and 4 legged neighbors. 

This photo was taken on a trail going past 

Lacamas Lake. Thanks Brian and may everyone

have a wonderful Thankful Thursday!

Posting on the internet can be quite problematic

while in Mexico.....so I'm early while the system

is up and running! Have a great day!

Yesterday we strolled down the beach.

It was quite busy as it was a holiday weekend.

It was also a sleepy day for some...

The most exciting thing we saw last night

was a mother turtle burying her eggs

on the beach! We've helped with baby turtle

releases, but had never seen the mother come up

on the shore.  Such a sweet sight.

Tomorrow morning one of the hotel workers will

dig up the eggs and rebury them in a secure place so

that no animal or human will disturb the eggs.

I don't know how long it takes for the eggs to hatch.

Yesterday we flew into Zihuatanejo...

one of our all time favorite

places to be! The photo above is the

palapa where we "plop" ourselves and

manage to hold down the beach!

For lunch we meandered down the

Playa la Ropa to the little beachfront

hotel and restaurant that also hosts

crocodiles and turtles!

these lovely reptiles!

Crocodiles, Turtles and Iguanas ...oh my! November 1, 2016

 

Just another day in paradise....

 

 

 

We always can spot lots of sandpipers..... 

 

 

But one has to walk down Playa la Ropa a bit

to spot the crocodiles, turtles and iguanas...

 

There were oodles of turtles swimming amongst

the five or so crocodiles....evidently turtles are not

on the crocs menu...?

 

At the same place we spotted about 7 iguanas

sunbathing on the hotel's roof....

 

and the resident parrot was enjoying the beach... 

 

 

 

Everyday I draw with watercolor pencils ...

amusing myself and relaxing while under the palapa!

 

 

 

On our way to dinner downtown I spotted this kitty...

 

Note the comment on the bottom of the menu...

"Gourmet food in white plastic chairs"

 

We might be sitting in white plastic chairs,

but the food is very tasty and they serve

some of the best Margueritas ever!

 

 

Another night....another sunset!

 

And this morning?

Tah dah! Our hotel's pool!

Have a great day!

Besos y embrasos a todos!

A Day in La Barra de Potosi

Our vacation wouldn't be complete without

a trip to Barra la Potosi!

We took the bus from downtown Zihuatanejo to Los Ochotes

Passing by the market places selling oranges-



Selling chickens for tonights dinner....

and I think this is where masa is sold?

Or maybe cheese?

After getting to Los Ochotes we took a bumpy ride

in the back of a pickup to la Barra.....lots of families were

already here enjoying the water...

Judy and Russell are on their shell phones....

La Senora was very busy today cooking ....

Prep area in the immaculate kitchen

After lunch some of us went swimming....

Others enjoyed the hammocks...

At the end of the day we enjoyed

the beautiful sunset back in Zihuatanejo....

And the release of the baby turtles

which I always find so amazing.

Today we fly home-back to reality

and the beginning of winter weather...

Thursday in Zihuatanejo

Pelicans on the middle rock-

Sandpipers in the surf....

Protected turtle eggs

Baby turtles ready to be released tonight...
