Today was a complete tour of Zihua, Playa La Ropa, a coconut plantation, a brick production, Petelan and its church, then a fine lunch at Potosi and an opportunity to hang out on that beach.


and a little tequilla for the road!

looking back at Zihua and Playa La Ropa

This one is for Caroline and Edna

Each coconut worker has his or her own implement at the proper height for them

Today's batch drying, day 1 of 10 before being placed in the kiln, notice they are brown in color

The kiln, fired with coconut hells

Roof tiles

The bottom row of bricks in the kiln, after fired are a bright red color.

Dave tries his hand at roof tiles

He was so good, they asked him to autograph it.

Lunch is waiting, what a treat, fresh fish, caught this morning

The famous church in Petetlan, the gold statue that had been found on the beach and all the stories of miracles.

Back to the roof tiles, I think he may stay here and get a job but being sold at 2 pesos, that is 20 cents folks, he may not earn his lunch today

Petetlan

Potosi Beach which will be absolutely crammed starting tomorrow for the school Christmas vacation

 We were surprised to learn that the population here has grown to 120,000 since the introduction of Ixtapa.
