La Manzanillo with friends


When we were anchored in Tenacatita last week with our friends Jay and Kat we decided a quick trip over to La Manzanillo was necessary and by quick we meant by dingy. The water was flat, conditions were great for a full throttle adventure. We went over before ten so we could have a nice breakfast before heading to see the crocks.


They have installed new fencing around the crocks to keep them safe from all the visitors. They have even built a suspension walkway so that they can charge one dollar for the pleasure of seeing these huge animals way too up close and personal. Kat went up into the tree house at the end of the walk so she could take better pictures but only found us within photo range.



Jay and Rog were having a great time pretending to be the big hunters on safari, as long as they were behind the right side of the fence.



This sign says it all. No swimming, goes without saying, no feeding, we saw several people throwing fish parts to the crocks and no small pets inside the fences.


I was not very crazy about the swinging bridge but I crossed it anyway and once you went over then you had no choice but to return the same way.


It is always wonderful to visit the local church in these small villages and the one in La Manzanillo was truly beautiful. The outside had been repainted since the last time we visited and the entire square looked spruced up. The inside of the church was even more amazing than the outside. It is one of the most beautiful churches I have seen in Mexico
