 Huge market in Melaque

Goat stew, just in case you need proof.  It is really delicious!

Went to the Melaque market yesterday, somehow the day before I had pulled a muscle, so it wasn't as enjoyable as it might have been. Still it was fun to see all the beautiful crafts from all over this part of Mexico. Beads, glassware, woven rugs, clothes, so many beautiful things. They also have booths where you can buy housewares, electronics, parts, shoes, you name it! I found some beautiful jewelry, and a pretty dress.

Marcus had been dealing with a vendor walking around with shirts and he found a green shirt he liked, but it was large and Marcus wanted a medium. No sale today for him. After Marcus spent several hours looking for a part for our starter to no avail, so we caught the bus and headed home. Got off of the bus in Barra and started walking the 6 blocks or so to the water taxi dock. Walking the other way was the vendor who had the green shirt, we laughed and waves as we walked by. Suddenly he comes up behind us waiving a green shirt, you guessed it, in Medium. Marcus really likes his new shirt.

Lounging by the pool in a first class resort . . . ahh I could get used to this. You cannot swim in Barra de Navidad lagoon, but the up side is the resort Grand Bay Hotel and we can use the facilities!! 3 pools, the main one has small waterslides and waterfalls. Very refreshing on a hot day.
