It was fun watching the men sorting their catch – and the dogs all waiting for something to fall their way!
This group had finished and were putting up their nets.
As we headed back to the RV for breakfast, we noticed these two houses on the beach. The first one was really short and very sparse.
The second one had interesting steps made from old tires.
This was one of the strangest sights – seeing these vultures atop the posts in this garden along the beach. I am still trying to figure out what in the world they were doing!
We left our campsite and drove the 78 miles to Bahias de Huatulco arriving in about 3-1/2 hours. Okay, we made one small detour enroute, but that only added about 30 minutes to the drive. I had seen some information on the Moon Guides about coffee farms and wanted to stop. Well, I thought it was at Santiago Astata, but it wasn’t. We parked the RV and walked up the hill to the church where we were “supposed” to look for information about tours. We asked a couple of local guys about it and they told us it was far away and I had the wrong place. Anyway, as we walked away, they were laughing and said I was crazy in the head. (My Spanish is good enough that I understood that!) After going back to the guide, we figured out my mistake. The good thing, it was only 30 minutes and we hadn’t missed the area where the coffee is grown, it was still ahead of us.
When we pulled into Playa Tangolunda there was one other RV here, Joyce and Dave, from Canada, and one tent.By the time the evening was over, there were two more tents and four more RVs! Quite a lively place! Another couple from Canada, Jack and Michelle, and their son & daughter-in-law and grandkids came to visit with Joyce & Dave. We shared stories and had fun getting to know them. We also spent some time down at the beach and relaxed.
There are lots of these birds at our campground. Not sure what they are, but we will try to find out!
The cost for this campground is $50 pesos a night per person ($4USD) and while it has no hookups, there are cold water showers and a dump station.

That is a very typical bird posture for drying their wings after diving for for fish or being in the rain.
Sounds like you are having a great time!
This might be a "common yellowtail" check it out http://www.birds.cornell.edu/AllAboutBirds/bp/bartley/yellowthroat.
Have lots more fun. Love you, B
Croft, That's what Tobey said. I thought they looked a bit like scarecrows in the vegetable patch!
Thanks Sis, I will check it out. Love you too!
So now you are on the Pacific side. Nice looking campground. Are golf courses crowded? I see one adjacent to your camp. It seems like several types of birds strike the pose. It may also be a way to cool down. We saw it in Africa and there wasn't water nearby.
