Mexico 2012 RV Trip - Day 83 - March 18, 2012 Huatabampito Beach

This morning started off quietly with us watching the dolphins offshore.There were several pods swimming in the area for almost an hour. It was awesome!

We bundled up against the wind and walked a couple miles before lunch. We shared a seafood platter at the El Mirador Restaurant not far from where we are camped. It was pretty good and let us sample shrimp and fish made in a variety of ways, as well as chilies rellenos. Lunch for two was a bit pricey, $225 pesos ($17.85USD), including drinks and a tip.

We were curious if we could find the house for sale that was listed on the internet so we ventured out again this afternoon. What a change on the beach! Everyone and their brother was here. They all drive – or race - their trucks, jeeps, ATVs, and motorcycles up and down the beach – and many of them get stuck in the sand. By the time we had walked down the beach and back on the road, we were really tired of the traffic. This was the scene we looked out at upon our return the the RV.

Despite walking almost 4 miles round trip, we never did find the house, but we met four Americans from Texas who live here. They said the weather we are experiencing is unusually cold and cloudy. Great.

The traffic finally cleared out, but many of the folks thought it was the Indianapolis 500 as they left. Some of the diehards were still doing the beach drive in the dark! The sun has set and we hope the few left find their way home soon.
