Isla Ixtapa

The beach at Playa Linda is about a fifteen minute ride from our condo. Isla Ixtapa is a fifteen minute motorboat ride from Playa Linda. Today we took those rides in the company of Jack, Linda, Kevin, Amanda, and their sons. Because the island has narrow parts, one can quickly cross from the beach on one side to the beach on the other which is kind of cool.

 

On the map the blue bull's eye is our condo location.

The island is at left.

Sure, these guys know how to pilot a boat.

I just happen to like life jackets.

Of course refreshments were plentifully available.

Unlike the surf outside our condo, the gentle water here is ideal

for swimming.

When we returned to the mainland at Playa Linda we walked by a nature reserve, home to lizards, iguana, and crocodiles . This explains the photos below ...

Carol and I completed our day by attending the meeting at the Kingdom Hall. Some visitors have left, others are sick, so the attendance was less than usual. Weston, a 12-year-old boy, substituted at the last minute for the reading assignment on the school. He did an impressive job of it.
