Here's a view of the long pier that extends from Casita's shore into the lagoon. The lagoon is fed by many fresh water cenotes and extends for something like 50 miles. Huge! Much of the bottom is white sand making
it a brilliant blue
Peggy loved how calm the water was before sunrise. Ed is taking her word on that!
Outside of Bacalar is Cenote Azul. A huge cenote that is 300 feet deep and several hundred yards across. Fresh water. Not terribly clear- you couldn't see more than 30 feet. But, refreshing to swim, as Peggy is here swimming toward the other side. She decided to stop short of the shore thinking about fresh water crocodiles! There was a platform a portion of the edge and a large restaurant. A cab driver took us and then came back later to pick us up.
This one's for Alex. Here's Gaga using a tree limb that has grown down to and in the water as a monkey bar! Much easier than the ones on the playground!
Peggy and a guide (Gonzalo Gonzalos- yep, his real name!) from the new Green Monkey Hostel next door to Casitas took a pre-dawn paddleboard trip along the lagoon to watch the sunrise. They also visited Black Cenote, which suddenly drops off hundreds of feet. Peggy sat down at the enormity of it.
