la cruz in the am












we had our engine started and pointed out to sea by 7am on dec. 12. from chacala it took us 7 hours to get to la cruz. in the four years since we've been here, this little town has undergone enormous change. more about that in the next blog. we saw some familiar boats here at marina riviera nayarit la cruz. time is confusing here. nayarit (where la cruz is) is on mountain time but jalisco (where pv is and the airport) is on pacific time so we have to keep checking with people about what time they're referring to. anyway, the sunset came later because we switched to pacific time, and it is beautiful here (the sunset not the marina).
so yesterday i headed into town very early to avoid the heat and snap some pictures. had breakfast at hikuri which is a little cafe/gallery with two very sweet dogs, the one above is half ridgeback. journal entry is....tea and mollete will be served shortly. wow is it good. toasted pan spread with refried beans and cheese and salsa. wandering through town this early am, i shared the street with several mexican dogs looking for food or socializing with each other. they really know how to make the best of a situation. roosters crowed, small children sat on the sidewalk where women were sweeping. by 10am i could feel the heat on the my back - time to head back to the boat. and i did bring jim half my breakfast.
