We haven't spent this long in one place since Cabo. When you are in place like this, it is hard to motivate yourself to once again travel into the unknown. The beach is unbelievable; 3 miles of soft hard packed sand, 80 degree water, and hardly a sole in sight.
There is a Canadian couple here that has been living in this spot for almost a year now. There rig is covered by a huge palapa which shades them all day. They even paid to have the great power supplied to all the spots. They have proven to be a great help. They are headed to the Yucatan soon, so we think we may cross paths further down the line.
Today our new neighbor was generous enough to drive us into town and drop us at the river tour. Once again we had a private tour since there is no one around. We took about a 15 ft boat up a mysterious crocodile infested river. On the way we saw about a half a dozen species of heron, including blue and tiger. Really cool! We also saw king fisher's, talapia, turtles, iguanas, and of course crocodiles.
Less than half way through the tour a giant 20ft croc jumped up and tried to swallow Jeanette, thankfully I am a quick cat and was able to wrestle him into submission. I decided to let him live upon our guides request.
I am so amazed at Jeanette. After the tour, we had to get back to our IRV. A hard task without our bikes, a taxi, or a car. I was able to convince her we could hitch it back, she is brave for trusting me or maybe crazy. Within 2 minutes a couple of really nice guys pick us up and we were home in no time.
We can't stay stagnate for too long, so we move a little further down the line tomorrow.
