Night Time Beach Walk

 One evening, we decided to go for a walk on the beach starting at the far end of Playa la Ropa by Rossy's restaurant. Unfortunately, we quickly encountered a crocodile on the beach in front of El Manglar. We hastily turned our heels and headed back to the main road to where  our motorbike was parked. We drove to the opposite end of the beach to continue our walk where we were more unlikely to meet up with a croc. This area is full of crocodiles up and down the coast. One should always be aware of their surroundings night and day, not only because of the crocodiles, but there are also nesting turtles that come onto the beaches to lay their eggs who shouldn't be disturbed.

As our beach walk continued, we encountered more wild life, but of the human kind. A boisterous Mexican wedding was being held on the beach at La Perla with lively entertainment. Music, food, flowing drinks, fire dancers, and fireworks entertained the many guests that came to honor the newly married couple. I'm sure some Papa spent a few pesos for this wedding! 


         With the beach being this dark, I wasn't too anxious to get a picture of the crocodile!
