A walk around town- and then some! Day Four

Feeling a lot spunkier today, we decided to venture out to explore our surroundings. Our first stop, the local beach. It was lovely; soft fine sand, great breeze and lots of people to watch.  Beaches stretch for many miles to the north and south, each having its own flavor and some linked by stone paths.

We decided to check out the next beach to the south. This one was a shallow bay, great for small children and waders. We walked along, enthralled by the natural beauty around us. Before we knew it we had no idea where we were and how to get back. Fortunately we came upon a little market. The good news- we were able to buy a bottle of water. The bad news- no one there was able to understand our halting Spanish; so on we went. Finally a rental office! We figured the person inside would know some English, and she did. She pointed us in the right direction and off we trudged. The entire outing lasted over two hours in the blistering midday heat.



Almost home!
