Back to the tropics - heat and humidity, but not as hot as Playas in February. The place we stayed at was called Alandaluz which is an ecological resort on the coast. We were the only ones there the first day we arrived (besides the staff, of course).
This is the cabin we stayed in.
It had an "open air" feeling as you can see from the bathroom.
... which of course made mosquito nets a necessity ... here is Lisa in her cocoon.
Bamboo restaurant all to ourselves.
The beach was beautiful - a feast for the eyes. But not quite paradise because of the sand fleas, plus Greg and Lisa both got stung by jelly fish while we were walking along the beach (not serious, stinging only lasted 1/2 hour or so). Of course, for me and my "dulce sangre" (sweet blood), it was the mosquitoes -- even though I covered up and wore repellent.
Even though this is the cooler part of the year, we found it very hot and humid and it was hard to sleep at night because the mosquito nets didn't allow for any air circulation.
Beach at dusk.
The power of the ocean was the strongest we have ever felt. We didn't go in over our knees and even then it was hard to keep your balance because of the pull of the waves!
Even the sun seems to bulge at the equator.

Love your beach & sunset pictures. Too bad about the mosquitoes & sand flies. Where is the next adventure?

Baby Boobie,
... that's my new favorite bird! I've been watching hummingbirdcam in California and Eaglecam in BC...these are live cameras on nests... Canadagoosecam just finished in Edmonton ...only one gosling survived and is swimming happily in a pond.... girls think I'm crazy but I love watching them. If there was a babyboobiecam I would SO be there :)

Oh, Cheryl, the comments I could reply to yours. :) I am keeping any eye on my own canada goose as she is still sitting on her nest on a tiny, tiny island in the river on Whitman Rd. However Cheri's pics are beautiful as usual. So many experiences.
