Tuesday, January 25, 2011 – Barra





Today is packing day. Dale and Sharon are headed back to Phoenix and I am headed for Boston. Low tonight in Phoenix is 37 and I did not dare look at Boston. Earl and Daisy will have peace and quiet for a week.

We had a fun time in Tenecatita. We took Dale and Sharon for a ride through the mangrove jungle in our dingy. It was a complete change from the sandy beach and something they had never seen before. Then Dale, Sharon and I walked down the beach to the hotel and took a cab into La Manzanilla, a little town at the other end of the bay. It was fun to show them a small Mexican town. We bought some souvenirs and had lunch at a typical small Mexican place, Lupita’s.

The next day was back to Barra. Sharon and Dale treated us to a fancy dinner in town at Sambucca’s (the treehouse). It was wonderful. We had a seafood appetizer – shrimp, scallops and calamari in a white sauce – which was unique. Then I had a chicken in mole sauce and the others had shrimp with wonderful coconut rice.

Now is time to call a water taxi and leave.
