Another great day draws to an end in Huatulco. We decided to get our friend Juan to take us to the beach at St. Augustin for the day. He picked us up after a delicious breakfast served by
Rebecca. The road to St. Augustin is dirt, and is usually in very bad shape, so it was good to have Juan doing the driving. He dropped us off at a restaurant on the beach that he recommended.
We decided to put on our snorkel gear and explore the reef near the shore. We spotted some rays swimming along the shoreline as we walked down the beach to enter the water. Almost as soon as we were in the water we began to see rays, they came very close and didn't seem to be bothered by us. I did manage to get a couple of good photos with my underwater camera.
We snorkeled over the reef for a while and then returned to our table under the giant palapa. Lunch included Dale's favorite fish tacos, guacamole, shrimp cocktail and of course a margarita. The food was excellent and somehow we managed to eat all of it. We lazed around the palapa in the shade for the rest of the afternoon, getting in the water to cool off. Juan showed up around 4 pm and we discussed the problems of his government and ours, a very deep conversation. Juan will soon be opening a restaurant in La Crucecita called The Crystal Rose. We enjoyed hearing about all his exciting plans for the future. After loading our gear we headed to the Villa with Juan at the wheel. We grabbed a quick dip in the pool before dinner and another margarita. Rebecca served us her wonderful steak, baked potato, grilled peppers, mushrooms, and onions with melted cheese.............................delicious! Ice Cream from Terra Cotta awaits us for dessert in the freezer, if we find room.
Tomorrow we are going to take the car and go out exploring Pluma Hildalgo, Santa Maria Huatuclo and maybe a stop in Santa Cruz................all small towns in the area.
