we say goodbye here to Pedro - the man at the harbor whose family we adopted; to Fidal, whom we would run into at Walmart and various places in town; to the family of our diver -----it means we were part of a community. And it felt wonderful - there are other cruisers who never make the lovely connection to the residents of this lovely place - the people make this country wonderful. Their work ethic, friendliness, helpfulness, and laughter really make our trip here something wonderful. Not to mention the food - cocnut shrimp, ai yi yi. We are right now in Sayulita - we made a great 40 miles north of NV and found a lovely shady camp/bungalow development on the beach. Walking the beach last night was magic - dogs running free and what looked like a mob of sunset worshippers -The village has grown since we were here ten years ago - houses sell in the same range as in the US, but what a place to be - flowers everywhere, and some suspect plants, from the looks of some of the surfers. We will be heading north, slowly - recuperating from the awful work of putting the boat to bed for a while. We may be camping or staying in resorts, but are playing it by ear - or eye, if we find something fascinating, we will stop and explore. Our friend Jon and some philosopher said that the journey is the destination. Ok, but we still are looking forward to seeing friends and family.....but life is made adventurous with that attitude.
