Woo hoo! We did it. It was such a calm day on the water there yesterday. We were blessed.

It was a happy moment! Only my second time on a stand up paddle board.

There was a storm lurking, but it never got to us while we were enjoying our morning.

Swimming was the best yesterday too, and Kailani loved chasing butterflies and digging holes. Why do dogs dig holes anyway?

There’s a lot of coral on the beach there, and sadly we’ve not seen a lot of fish on the reefs there lately. But Greg did go snorkeling for about 20 minutes and saw a parrot fish and some white trigger fish. That’s different from what we’ve seen, so that was thrilling.

We could see the storm clouds brewing, but we were hot and dry the whole time. No wind. Which is very unusual. All in all, a great time.

We left the bay about 12:30, and didn’t get very far when the skies darkened and sure enough we caught up with the rain. Quite lovely actually, but it didn’t make it to our neck of the woods. We need rain. It’s been dry for the last couple years.

By the time we got to El Truinfo, the rain had stopped. We love going to the bakery there. We bought two almond croissants, and one apple tart. Just because we could. So yummy. We took the croissants home, but ate the apple tart. We always stop at this cafe when we go to Bahia de los Muertos. Why would we not?

This is a very happy place, and their food and pastries are top notch.

Hope your summer adventures are as fun as ours. Life is good.
