Mexico Trip 2012 - Bay Life

So peaceful.

Our casita was right on the beach and so we took advantage of that every moment we could (while not away sightseeing or cooking in the fully equipped bungalow kitchen), and snorkeled, swam, played with fish, read in hammocks, walked on the beach, and watched the pelicans fishing.

Kayaks and snorkels for our use.

About as graceful as a pelican's dive.

The pelicans liked to hang out with Rick while he swam.

Our slice of beautiful bay. That's Rick and a pelican out there. That green stuff under the water, sea grass, was full of fish and other bay life.

A male and female pair seemed to share the beach and fish with us.

Reading a good book. Kicking back in hammocks under our beach palapa.

Nuestra casita. Being on our own private beach was so incredible.

Giant hermit crab lived in a hole by the back door.

There were cute geckos inside the bungalow and out. I chased this one around the trunk of one of the many coconut trees around the patio.

I think this was an osprey flying over our beach.

Flock of egrets....
...and a flock of little sand piper birds.
