A swim on the beach

On our free day we decided to head back to the beach and hopefully swim a little.  We were pleased to find the green flag up (safe swimming) and much smaller surf than the other day when we stopped by. 
Also, since it was a week day and schools are still in session here, there were very few people on the beach. 

There was a harbor by the beach with a lot of sailboats coming and going. 





We got to use our "blanket" (i.e. Colorful cotton fabric) that we purchased the other day.  Delaney coaxed me in to the cold water, then we sunned ourselves and read a little before heading back to the hostel.  Every few minutes vendors would walk by calling "Sangria, Mojitos" with a tray of drinks in their hands.  One of the group decided she was thirsty in the park when we first arrived in the city and got one of the "Mojitos".  I remarked that it looked like green Kool aid.  After a taste she confirmed that it tasted like green Kool aid with a sprig of mint in it.  One additional vendor on the beach was a lady offering "massage!"  I have to say I was slightly tempted by this one.  It sounded very relaxing.

Several people in the group thought seriously about parasailing (trips offered out of the harbor), but in the end it didn't happen.
