On Wednesday we went to Zicatella for the day, but the waves and the tow were so strong, we couldn't even wade in, so we walked West. to check out the rest of the beach past the rocks.
We have hit all the beaches in PE except Marinero. Marinero is east of the main beach, or what the locals refer to as "Playa Principal". Every beach town has a Playa Principal, and it appears to me that it is where the fishermen bring in their catch, but also where they park their boats.
Marinero has a pretty fair swimming beach. The palapa restaurants were busy, but we seemed to find one that was poorly served, even though the guy really sold us on sitting in his area.
The beach is surrounded on the East side by rocks, and on closer inspection, the rocks are covered in little black crabs! eek, I just leaned on that rock :)

| Playa Principal We only have 3 days left. All in all a great holiday and an experience to remember. We've learned a lot about future vacationing and retirement. It was much harder to stay busy for 5 weeks than we had expected. We now know that a vehicle makes adventure travel way more fun! Even if the vehicle is frequently passed by mopeds! Road tripping (is that a word?) in Mexico is not as difficult as one might think, especially if you stay out of large cities and off the roads at night. Motorhome travel, in south Mexico anyway, is a foolish idea! The roads are just much too narrow. |
Hasta Luego mi Amigos and Amigas!
Glad you guys have been having such a fantastic time. Enjoy the last few days before you come back to wintery Canada (just over 15cm of new snow in the last two days....not to make you nervous or anything)....can't wait to see you both and hear even more stories about the trip.
