Huatalco beach

The ship was able to dock at the little town of Santa Cruz.   The larger town has another name, not sure why the port is Huatalco.

 It was very hot but we walked around to get our bearings then found a table under an umbrella by the sea. The breeze was keeping it cool.  All the beaches here are short due to being tucked in between rocky hills. George's walk didn't take long!

I sat and sketched in my trip journal. My goal is one per port to remember the trip with art.

We finished our margaritas then did a bit of shopping. Should have bought Qtips at that Walmart. No one knows what they are here!

Back aboard, we grabbed some lunch and cooled off. Sitting in the stern we could still hear the music from shore.

Now we sail for two days to arrive in Costa Rica. There we will do a river rafting trip.its supposed to rain....this will be interesting!
