February 26, 2015 - El Requeson

The wind stopped during the night and we woke to a beautiful, sunny day. We walked back to Playa La Perla camping area this morning and continued all the way to the highway. You can reach the camping area from El Requeson, or you can take the narrow rough road from the highway. I think I would choose getting there from El Requeson!
There is no one camped there, and the beach is quite small. I think the camping fee is the same as El Requeson at $100 pesos per night. ($7 USD)
We saw these birds on our way back to camp. I am always amazed at their habits. It seems like the pelicans all dive after fish at the same time and all rest on the rocks at the same time. Makes me wonder if they are members of the local pelican union!


Around 11 this morning, the low tide allowed us to walk over to the island without getting our feet wet. There are supposed to be trails on the island, but we only had on flip-flops and the mangroves are dense, so we opted to just go over and back.

This afternoon, our neighbors, Larry and Joyce, loaned us their canoe. We went out of our bay and went around the island from the south to the north. The wind had picked up a little so we had a little wave action, which always makes me nervous! Tobey just laughed at me – but didn’t dunk me. The picture below shows our camping area from the north – and you can see the waves.

After passing the island, we came into another bay where there is a restaurant. We stopped to check out their menu before heading back. Rather than carry the canoe over the spit, we went around the outside of the island and back into our little bay. The wind finally died down and the last ten minutes was a gentle ride in!Larry and Joyce made steamed clams for dinner this evening and invited us to join them. I am not a clam-eater, but Tobey is, so I made potatoes and we joined them. Tobey said they were very tasty. We played a couple card games after dinner and again, enjoyed their good company. You certainly can meet a lot of nice people when you are RV camping!
