All lined up in a row
Another beautiful day in Chuburná, Mexico. Our morning walk took us about two hours, most of it out in the water at a good distance from the shore. Walking out further from the shore, the water actually gets quite shallow in spots. I had no worries about walking out quite some distance carrying the camera.
It was a perfect location to shoot a number of photos featuring birds. Of course, the most common birds were seagulls and pelicans. Also joining the crowd were a few cormorants,

sandpipers and an interesting looking black bird.
If I had my bird book handy, I could likely find out exactly what kind of bird it was. For now, it isn’t all that important. It was enough to get the photo and enjoy the moment.
In the afternoon, we ended up travelling to Progreso with Roger and Marianna, our neigbours from Nanaimo, for groceries, something that was an unplanned event. It was an enjoyable time as we stopped on the way back for a small lunch at a local outdoor restaurant in the village of Chelem.
Now, it is time to relax and enjoy the rest of the day without plans for anything else other than reading, checking e-mail and writing this blog. ¡Hasta mañana!
Any super interesting foods??? I remember you going shopping in China and always coming back with either purchasing something interesting or at least seeing something interesting to eat.
Well, the interesting foods so far are the fish dishes that come as hors d’oeuvres. Raw fish and other seafoods are soaked in lime and other items for a few hours, curing them so that they are then ready for consumption. What have we eaten this way? Clams, fish, dogfish (shark) fins and other shellfish. Other than that, we have been doing all of our eating at home.
