Our plan was for a beach day in Mismoloya. We husseled around to get an early start. Think we caught the bus around 9:30..... early Mexico time :) There was a group of people waiting for the bus with yoga mats, and the yoga mat crowd kept growing. I asked someone if they were heading to a class. They were a group heading for Boca for a fundraising event which was a yoga retreat day at a hotel. Sounded like a great day. They didn’t all fit on the bus there were that many of them.
We arrived at Mismoloya by 10:00. We walked out in the cliff outcropping to where Night of the Aquana was filmed. I kept getting bit by some small insects. We ran into a few huge iguanas along the way, no wonder it was filmed here!
We settled on a beach spot with Ramon, only because he was the first person to greet us when we got to the beach. We had packed PB sandwiches because we were not going to eat here after the conversation yesterday with the gentleman with the house in Mismoloya, so we just wanted loung chairs and diet cokes. Well...seems the tide is especially high right now and water rough so we had a hard time staying on our lounge chairs and not being swept out to sea! After a while we decided maybe this wasn’t so much cheaper fun, threw in the towel, so to speak, mine did wind up soaked, and caught the bus back to PV. We then headed to the beach and found a spot at La Carretta several rows from water because it was after noon. Enjoyed lunch of cheese quesadillas and peacefully read without being swept out to sea :) I did enjoy walking along the beach, the wave action was unbelievably huge today!
After a couple hours headed back to our place to change and head out to El Rio BBQ to hear Bobby and Guillerto. We took a taxi out ther. Long line to get in. Today they are doing tickets, you purchase tickets to turn in for food and beverage. Also charged 35 peso to get in, once again always different ever time. Music great, food great, drinks great, location beautiful, what’s not to love!
We leave and I can’t remember where the bus stop is. Debbie is nervous about this but I point out 4 other people are walking in front of us. I ask them where to get the bus and they respond it hadn’t shown up so they are just walking back to centro and it is way they have done it before. I say great we will just follow you guys :) The walk was just fine, but glad to be with others who knew the way! Would never had done that on my own. Think Debbie was not so sure of my judgement though!
We walked to B Badillo street and enjoyed the Friday Night Suffle. Along they way stopped for a drink at Steve’s Bar so we could use the bathroom! There was great music along the street tonight, among them Sylvie, one of our favorites. We looked at a couple art galleries and jewelry store along the way and ended with listening to more music at C&C’s before heading home.
We were hot and tired so went to pool for a dip, only to run into a couple from Boston who have stayed here many years, Terri and Dave, I have never seen them before. Dave is responsible for the puzzles that appear out on the bar on the pool deck, so that mystery is solved! At about 11:00 I had to tell them goodnight and finally returned to our room. I had been a huge day! But that’s how I like them, once in a while :)
