Been There, Done That, Lets Do it Again

WHERE ARE WE? Numero UNO RV Park, La Penita, Nayarit, Mexico

Wow, it seems like I don't do a post once and 3 days slip away.  It's not like I don't have time to do it, I just procrastinate a lot.  First things today was that our friends Wanda and Irwin and John and Susan got away this morning bound for the airport in PV.  They are heading home to the tropical weather (+7C) they are having in Calgary and home in Manitoba.  The first leg of their flight took them to Calgary where they spend overnight before continuing on to Brandon MB. tomorrow.  Their holiday was a different one, with lots of unplanned things happening along the way.  One to remember for them.

We had a little deviation in plans today and met up with George and Henny and a group of people who were going on the Jungle Tour.  They wanted to know if we wanted to come with them as there was room in the boat.  We had Ken and Rhonda with us and they said what the heck, lets do it.  So that's where we ended up.  The boats are big enough for 12 so away we went.



The boat ride was good because we had to go slow with so many people in the boat so we got to see lots of things.  We saw crocodiles, turtles, birds along the way.





We opted to take in the enclosure where they keep lots of crocs and a couple tigers and jaguars.  It is not the most pristine place but gives you a close up of those things.




Then we boated back to the restaurant and swimming hole.  Sue and Rhonda and George went for a swim while Ken and I just watched. 





We always love the Mexican racoons!!  They are called Coatis.  


A good day on the jungle tour again.  I think this is our 3rd trip since we started coming to Mexico.  We were a little sad because we were supposed to do this trip with our Manitoba friends, but the appendix operation put a damper on that.  On the way home we saw a Boa Constrictor going across the road.  It was about 4 feet long, but by the time we stopped and I got a picture, it had slithered into the grass by the roadside.

Look close and you will see it.


And the birds enjoyed the sunset as much as we did.  Good Nite!
