Agua Verde

Next stop was Agua Verde (green water), another delightful little fishing village.  The photos will tell the story.

Typical fantastic landscape between Timbabiche and 

Agua Verde

It's hard to grasp the scale of the formations,

but the big cat on the horizon gives you

some idea.

Circadian in Agua Verde

My neighbor

Took the dink ashore to explore a bit and try to get

wi-fi at the store.  Dogs, kids and pelicans share the

shallow water near shore.

Looking into the anchorage (see Circadian?),

beyond is the isthmus on the north side.

Flying rats harass the fishermen that

have brought in a catch.

This is the market!  For 30 pesos, you can get

wi-fi of a sort.

The church

The school

The main intersection of the village

Although small, remote and humble, the residents of

the village clearly take pride in their pueblo.

It's clean, and they take the trouble to line the dirt roads

with painted rocks.

Pecking around at the store

Future bacon

Many of the goats are allowed to wander loose.

explaining the goat trails into the hills and

sound of bells heard.

Looking back toward the village.  Big cat anchored

in the north cove.

Looking north from the ridge

On the far side of the ridge is the old cemetery.

Sun, wind and flash floods have taken their toll on the

monuments.

Given the remoteness, it's not surprising

that the monuments are simple.

Still, they are touching.  This child died

in its first year, and is 'remembered by

your father.'

Another.  Most graves were from thelate

1940's, some a bit earlier, some a bit later.

Back on the beach for breakfast at one of two restaurants.

All freshly made and very good.
