3/1 We hooked up with old highschool friends of Donna's who are vacationing here - George and Margory Pentland . Delightful time over dinner getting reaquainted and catching up with each other's lives, while reminiscing of our interesting highschool years. To get there, we took a water taxi from our boat to Barra Navidad (we're in the lagoon) and then a taxi to Melaque, about 6 miles away. Our ride back was quite fun! we became a part of a parade that was on the roads, our taxi slowed to a snail's pace and we just waving and laughing with the people that drove by - I'll add some pictures to show the spirit. Our taxi driver was great, just took in stride, but finally, asked if we minded walking the rest (8 blocks or so)and we happily agreed, so we could walk with the meandering crowd of party goers. It was interesting, colorful, very different from our parades - and a slice of Mexican culture.
