Beach Walk



We had no agenda today.  Mark and Gina made us a great breakfast.

Ham and Cheese Croissantwiches


And then we hung out under a poolside ramada for the morning.



In the afternoon Leo walked north on the beach.

The river/lagoon next to our condo

As you can see below there are hotels and condos as far as the eye can see.

There were several paragliding outfits on the beach.

On our way back to the condo We again passed within a few feet of the lagoon next to our condo.  Can you see that rock in the lagoon located in the reflection of furthest right of the 3 highrises?

We noticed a few tourists talking to a security guard near the lagoon. That's when realized they were talking about crocodiles and that the "rock" was a crocodile.

Fun fact:  How can you tell if it's an alligator or a crocodile?  Crocodiles show both their upper and lower teeth when their mouths are shut.  Alligators tend to show their upper  teeth only.  Also, alligators have a broad, shorter snout while crocs have longer, narrow snout.  Lastly, there are only 2 species of alligators in  the world, one in a small area of China and the other in southeastern USA and a small portion of northeastern Mexico.  Florida has both the American alligator and the American crocodile, which is the species we saw in Puerto Vallarta.

But if it's on the Pacific Ocean or anywhere else in the world it's a crocodile.
