RV Park Gator and Other Travels
It is a beautiful day today. Actually we haven’t seen anything but beautiful days since we got here. I loaded the lap top on the scooter, went down to the office area to access our e-mail. One of the guys from our “hooker” bunch, Jerry was walking buy with his camera and was making a good pace headed for his 5th wheel. He said he had been down by the swamp/pond and managed to get good photos of one of the local “gators”. Jerry said the gator was sunning himself on the sand. His description places the ole’ boy to be about 10’ long and “huge” across the middle. The pond is about 100 yards from the ocean and beach that we all swim on and early in the morning we have all seen the foot tracks and the mark he makes with his tail as he travels between the two. I will plan to go down myself in a couple of days and see if I can get some pictures. Apparently there are three “gators” but Jerry only saw the one.
Four of us, Jerry, Ken, Brian and myself went fishing off the rock point near our beach yesterday. Jerry caught a puffer fish. We all had fish following our lures but couldn’t get them to hit. We decided that we should all take a charter with a local and see what bait we need and what we can catch. Our trip is scheduled for Thursday morning. Our captain from Rincon will pick us up on our beach at 6:30. Cost is $40.00 each for half a day and we will apparently be fishing for Blue Marlin, Red Snapper, and Dorado. The Tuna are still too far out to Sea but later in the season we will go for those.
Kathleen and I drove to Syulita, San Francisco, Lo De Marcos, and a couple other little sea side villages yesterday. We had lunch on the beach as we watched about 50 surfers ride the waves out in front of Syulita. There were several surfing schools being advertised and the beach seemed to be occupied by a lot of European vacationers. One could tell by the skimpy bikinis. Didn’t hurt my feelings a bit!
We checked out a delightful little RV park in Lo De Marcos that was extremely secluded, shaded, and stunningly beautiful with all the tropical flowers. It had its own private access to the beach and had several bungalow rentals surrounding the property. At the moment, as it is early in the season, it was near empty. We were assured that it was booked for the season beginning in December. We did put ourselves on a waiting list for next year just to see how that would play out.

As I sit here writing this piece, Kathleen is at the pool playing water volley ball with the gang. There is a lot of clapping and laughing going on so I assume they are having a good time.
