Joe was spying on me from the balcony of our second room.
|

Psycho!

On this day, we took a long walk down the beach.
Several houses down at the end of the developed part of the beach had been damaged by hurricanes.

Walking along the golf cart "road" that followed the beach for a little way.
|
 full |
This was pretty much the end of the road. It looked like this boat had been abandoned to rust there, although the next day we saw it being dragged back into town.

Fording the first river crossing.

The beach went on and on...

There were starfish everywhere!

The Stork!
(ha ha, just kidding Mom!)
|
 full |
We saw a lot of birds (no idea what kind they were).
This is probably because Holbox is near a bird santuary: Isla Pajaros
|
 full |
|
 full |
Another bird colony!
|
 full |
I can't resist!

Children ran wild in golf carts, in front of several of the hotels lining the beach.

The main attraction, according to this map, was the Pirate's Cove italian restaurant. ;)
