wandering around huatulco

Everything went smoothly completing all the paperwork to check out of Mexico. We had very little wait with the port captain, then quickly went through migracion, back to the port captain, and finally left with migracion and customs who drove us back to the boat for our inspection. We’re ready to go after one last trip to la fruiteria and we get the bottom cleaned this morning then we’re off with about 7-8 other boats also heading to El Salvador.


We’ve enjoyed our time here and found some really good restaurants (you know we travel on our stomachs). Photos will follow in a later blog about all that. Here’s an overview of our most recent wanderings around town.

during a walk through the parque de ecologica i saw a number of trees with ant trails

and trees with serious thorns

and trees with odd growths

and trees with termite nests

and then there were the cactus - some in bloom

and more heart trees

and then walking around town i saw this huge full-body mask that's worn during carnival (i think) which they're gearing up for

carnival rides getting set up for the weekend carnival

the military setting up an exhibit across from the cathedral

one of the military guys and a camouflaged commrade

the information booth with photos, something like recruitment enticement

i've only seen young men operating the huge looms - and many of you know i take a lot of pictures of feet which will be part of a future blog

migracion and customs workers giving us a ride back to the boat - such a cute couple (but don't tell anyone it's a secret)
