The weather out of the mountains is sure hot, up in the 30s now! We didn't leave Colima till almost noon so the ride was a sweaty draining ride. A good bit was uphill but most was flat or downhill. But even the downhill was hot. We ate at a restaurant which really only served quesodilllas then headed out to the beach, Boca de Pescuales. We landed an awesome deal at a hotel on the beach where we could camp on their balcony while still enjoying the facilities for 50 pesos each (less than 5 bucks). We had an amazing view over the ocean. Rigel and I went swimming letting the waves crash over us. The water was so warm! Just like bath water! Unfortunately we were a little too excited and got ourselves caught in a riptide! Once I realized the waves were not bringing me back to shore like they were it was time to start swimming. After a few minutes of Rigel pushing me forward (and him going back) we realized a guy was running out with a floatation device. We were saved! We would have probably been ok as Rigel knew how to get out of it and we really were not far off shore but I sure like being saved by the Mexican boy. I guess I was a little scared too.
Our relaxing stay at the hotel pacos was cut short when new guests (that were going to pay the 800pesos a night) wanted private use of the balcony which meant we had to move downstairs into the sand. We of course felt that wasn't a good deal so we packed up and left hoping for a just as sweet a deal down the road. Riding a total of 3.5kms we came to El Real, a resort town with so many waterslides! The town was not very busy so we asked the owner of a restaurant if we could camp on their property. They said yes as long as we ate there as well. We agreed and spent a wonderful 2 days there swimming, watching the sunset and eating delicious garlic shrimp and ceviche. A couple coconuts fell off a nearby tree which we opened and ate with some lime and sugar. mmm delicious! The owner there was really nice giving us use of the facilities which included a shower. The water was not hot but it really didn't matter, it was over 30 degrees out!
On the second day I painted while Rigel mostly read, but overall having a wonderful time at the beach!
