Day 9 Playa Norte Los Barriles BCS, Mexico

Today was a quiet day.  We both walked on the beach this morning.  As I was walking, Lucy, Brian and Carol’s dog, bounded up to me.  She was by herself and I saw no sign of her parents…As I turned around, I saw both Brian and Carol in the water on paddle boards.  Lucy sat on my feet waiting for Brian to come in.

Tim and I rode back to the lighthouse today.  The beach there is so inviting and relaxing.  We ate our picnic and spent the afternoon just soaking it up!

This fish washed up onto the beach. Tim tried to rescue him by getting him back into the water.

I walked down to the point and saw this marker for a turtle nest.  The sign did not indicate the nesting date but I did see the remains of sea turtle eggs in the sand.  I sure hope the baby turtles made it safely to the sea.

We went to dinner tonight at Mi Casita.  The waiter encouraged me to try the pineapple shrimp.  It was beautifully prepared.  The shrimp sat on a bed of mashed potatoes on top of a roasted wedge of pineapple.  Everything was then drizzled with a tamarind sauce.  This was a special dinner!

We walked to El Gecko for a glass of wine and then looked at the stars.  We could hear the rays slapping the water.  It sounded like they were so close…but it was too dark to see.
