_8  January 2010 Today we’re located at:  19.22339N,  104.70660W

If you want to get a feel for what San Patricio and Barra de Navidad look like from space, just copy and paste into “Fly to:” in Google Earth.  Looking at it from space is amazing and seeing it from here at the campground it’s beautiful.  The first full day here, Louise and I took a walk…we hiked to Barra de Navidad in the sand.  Stepping out of the campground and turning left, we hiked the beach all the way.  I’m not sure just how far that is by following the beach, but it must be close to 4 miles or more and it was all done in soft sand.  When we finally got there we were ready to sit down and take a load off (and have a Latte with an order of Pancakes with fried plateno’s).

_It had already been decided that we would take a taxi back to San Patricio but while we were there we were going to make the best of it and see all the sights.  The two towns are entirely different from each other even-tho they share the same bay.  First, Barra de Navidad has a huge bay that shelters large (and small) boats from the ocean.  It also has a beautiful golf/spa resort called Barra de Navidad Grand Bay Resort

_which is located on the other side of the inlet into the harbor.  While walking one of the boardwalks we came upon this diver that was just bringing up his catch.  Not recognizing what it was he had harvested from the bottom of the harbor, we asked…  Well that wasn’t too helpful as we just couldn’t understand what it was he was trying to tell us, so if you know what the heck these are please let us know.

_We did understand that they were quite good (at least that’s what he said…) but we haven’t yet found them in any markets.  Later that afternoon, we were wondering if Keith and Louise were still in the area so we went looking for them in the surrounding campgrounds.  About ¾ of a mile up the beach from where we are is the “Free Beach Campground” and we thought they might be there so back into the sand and off in the opposite direction from our earlier hike.  The “Free” campground is so called because it doesn’t have ANY hook-ups

_and you must be set with a good solar system and a lot of water storage…if you stay for a month, someone will come by and the charge is $100 US.  If you stay less than a month, you may find that no one has come to collect anything…  Well, we did find their motor home, but they were nowhere to be found.  One of their neighbors told us that they had just left for town so if we hurried we would most likely catch them…didn’t happen.  Well, another day.
