Chicala is a sleepy little village.It has one main street, a dirt road. It is peppered with little shops for souvoneirs, a min mini-mart, and a few restaurants olong the beech. There is a Yoga retreat and a few small hotels. There is also a small RV park.
Most of the RVs are American with a few Canadians thrown in for the mix.
I have met people from France, Belguim, Italy, England, Switzerland, Germany and of course the U.S. and Canada.
There is a travel guide called �The Lonely Planet� that mentions San Blas and Chacala. Everyone seems to be aware of this book, except me of course!
The only problem with San Blas was the Noseeums...get it? No see em! Insects that bite! I am at the bottom of the food chain...at least two hundred plus bites. My newest friend is calamine lotion!
Tomorrow I hoist the anchor and sail to La Cruz, a suburb of Puerto Vallarta
great sunsets and sunrises

There is no other way to see a sunrise or sunset other than being at sea. They are absolutely spectacular!
