Valentines day on Playa Manzanillo




Just had to add a few more photos...me eating oysters with lime at lunch, after watching several men hauling them up the beach dripping with seawater after they pulled them off the bottom of the bay and then seeing them cracked open by an older man feet from our table. We ate under an awning of the small restaurant in the next photo, enjoying the sight of familias mexicanos splashing, laughing together in the shallow waters, as fishermen brought in tuna off the boats you see. And the fish soup, sopa de mariscos, was pretty amazing...filled with whole shirmp, octopus pieces, tuna, and a broth that was like drinking the ocean...yum. Did some snorkling, seeing mostly dead coral close to shores, some colorful little fish...and also quite a few tiny jellyfish which left us with a stingy rash (an unusual occurance, which we hope has drifted out to sea today). That's when we retreated to other side of the beach for lunch!
