San Felipe

After leaving Ek Balam mid afternoon we headed north arriving at the small fishing villiage of San Felipe where we stayed the night then went out on an adventure the following day.

The Hotel San Felipe de Jesus where we stayed the night.
View of the city looking out my bedroom window
And the ocean the other direction
The sun begin to set
A walk down along the city dock
Fishermen in a boat in the setting sun
Boats in the bay with the setting sun
The final rays of the sun
As it falls into the ocean
Setting the nigh sky afire
Yup, that's me
Wally soaking up the last of the rays
The sun setting
Fireball out of a woman's mouth
Dinner that night
The next moring. Boats at the dock.
The San Felipe sitting high with the tide out.
Looking out over the bay
All aboard the boats
As we leave the dock
Hey guys!!! You forgot me!
Just kidding, there was two boats and I was on the other one.

Hundreds of pink Flamingos

Walking on water
Horseshoe crab
On hot days you can use them for a hat our guide demostrated.
Well that is just a little one.
You grab them by the tail like this and....
and let them just grab onto your hair...
and just let the tail drap down the back of your neck.
Well he is kind of cute
Did you know that horseshoe crabs have bright blue blood because it is based on copper instead of iron and that it has several medical uses.
On the beach
Lets play with mud, you grab some like this
and just rub it on your face
It has a sun block factor of 10,000
But don't let it dry too long
Make sure you get some down here
Just a little more
With sun glasses and a hat your ready for Friday night out
The women seem to like it
It was a nice light green color
The guide with the painted women.
Heading back to the dock
Where they finally got to wash off their faces in the pond.
Hey, you missed a spot.
