Everybody's fishing Sunday

I swear that every fisherman in the area was at the West Melaque beach yesterday both in boats and from shore. That could also include the 1000+/- pelicans and other birds fishing their way. Supposedly they were stocking up with bait for night fishing but I've never seen 20+ pangas lining the beach. Between lines in the water, nets thrown from boats, banana boat rides and diving birds it was not a good idea to venture very far out.

Eight of us went from Pinal and met up with Glen from Barra at Sirenitas. Bought a kilo of shrimp and made a large bowl of ceviche on the beach. It was overcast all day and the ocean seemed cooler. A welcome day away from the sun

Perfect Sunday on the beach

Bought shrimp in the morning to make ceviche and the other group must have done the same. We ended up with two large pots of shrimp, one finely chopped and the other larger pieces mixed with pulpo. Both different veggies.

Had to talk Hugo into no futbol in the afternoon so the kids could go to the beach for a change. Here in Mexico you can bring all your own food to beach restaurants, use their tables and umbrellas but you have to buy their beer. We bought about three buckets.

Water was perfect and the kids were well behaved. Lots of birds, people fishing from the beach (even catching a few) .... and lots of people cooling off in this heat. Birthday girl Yari got her hair braided (trencitas). Perfect Sunday.   Little video below
