We are in a marina in Paradise Village, Nuevo Vallara, Mexico and really like it here. The grounds are beautiful, there are several pools, and medium sized grocery store that is over priced but carries American and Canadian goods.

This morning we took the dinghy up the estuary for a 4 hour tour. There are mangroves that line the sides and lots of birds. What we were really looking for though was the crocodiles. We found 3! A little foot long one that scrambled for the water then a 12 footer that at first I thought was fake. I thought it was fake until we got too close and the thing ran like a bat out of hell for the water! 0-60 in 2 seconds flat! The third was another big one swimming alongside the dinghy. I won't be swimming here.

We also saw the most beautiful iguana. He was the biggest we have ever seen and he had beautiful colors. A blue head, green body and yellowy striped tail. He had to have been well over 4 feet long.

This evening we went to the free 'welcome' show that Paradise Village offers. It was fun watching Mayan dances and comedy routines. Dinner was Domino's Pizza.
