Wednesday and Thursday we spent hours on the beach in the very mild sun. We walked some but if you are so inclined you could walk for miles. Because the beach is private there were only two independent sellers and on Tuesday we had no efectivo (Spanish for cash) so we asked them to come back manana. We spent some time on the computers booking hotels for the week ahead. Managed to get rooms at Xilitla el Castillo and after two nights there we have accommodations in Xalapa for two nights. We read the Seattle Times, our books also the Washington Post.
Thursday was the best beach day yet. The Gulf and beach are extremely relaxing because of the gentleness of the waves and sun. We ventured a walk down the carretera to find a cajero automatico (ATM)in order to get pesos. The peso is about 15 to a dollar. I did buy some jewelry from the independent sellers as I promised. Pete walked a long way and began to turn rojo. We are eating lunch at about 4 and forgoing dinner for now. We hope we won't gain too much weight.
This morning it RAINED!!!! It came downing a deluge for a while but now the sun is trying to come out. We took the credit and the blame.
Pete spoke to a Policia Federal this morning and was assured that we did not need any more documents for now and that when we get to Veracruz there will be a place to obtain all documents needed. That eased his mind.
Later.....
