Life’s A Beach




If that last beach was a little too remote for your taste, here is one in a small fishing village a little farther down the coast


We stayed 20 days here in this beach campground, celebrating Christmas and New Years with the locals.  It was a truly wonderful experience.


They provided water and a dump, and once again our solar system provided all the power we needed.



Coconuts were removed from overhead trees so they would not fall on our roofs and damage them.

Fresh coconut drinks were soon for sale on the beach.


Here Judy is shopping on main street just off the beach.


Sand is brought up from the beach to keep the street from getting rutted.


There are a number of restaurants serving very good food.



The fishermen bring in a fresh catch every morning to the co-op.



At 8AM every morning, you can buy any piece of fresh fish they have.




Here I am on the beach helping to pull in a net of fish.



A group of kids came by every day for a language lesson.




They taught us Spanish and we taught them English.


Sunsets along the coast are unforgettable here. 
Did I forget to say it cost $25 a week to stay here and I paid for the stay with money I found on the beach with my metal detector?
