Recia arrived at 10 o’clock by taxi to go with us to the market in La Penita which has a population of 10,000 and is 25 kilometres north of San Pancho. As we were waiting for the bus, a taxi stopped and took us to the market for the same rate as the bus. The taxi driver’s name was Dominico, and we made arrangements to go to the Puerto Vallarta airport next Wednesday with him for 300 pesos. We were not impressed with the city of La Penita. It seemed disorganized and dirty. The market there was large and colourful with lots of Mexican wares such as dresses, candy, silver, jewelry and food. Sue and Robert bought a dress for Mandy and a wristband for Chris. Milla bought bracelets for her boys. Recia bought a bar-b-que chicken for dinner. We returned to San Pancho via a Pacifico bus which flew down the highway and passed many vehicles. If there is a slow bus driver, we haven’t found one yet.
On our return, we stopped in at EntreAmigos to buy bread and order a lemon pie for tomorrow. Later in the afternoon, it was cloudy but we headed to the beach to all read our novels at our favourite log. We then walked down to the cove to watch the surfers and collect shells for necklaces. We walked by the turtle man’s house to see if there was any action in the turtle nursery. All was quiet. There will be one more turtle release at the cove soon. A late supper consisted of a delicious meal of salad and veggies topped with cream sauce that Robert made. Our day ended with writing the blog and picking pictures for it.
