Las Islitas

Playa Las Islitas

So I just received a call from B, he said "I just wanted to let you know that we are all going to the beach and my phone might not get reception." Really? Ok have fun...I'm not jealous.

I hear it's heating up in Nayarit and trips to the beach are definitely in order.  When I was down in February we made it out to Las Islistas, a beach further South then San Blas.  The water is not as agressive for the kiddies and the beach is alot more friendly to us adults because we dont have to put up with the jejénes.

It is a typical beach in Mexico, in that you have the usual vendors coming around and beach side service.

Those pescados are so delicious, as you can see my nephew got one all to himself!

It is a funny thing I think, because my husband has always lived around water, he doesn't care to be in it unless he is fishing.  He usually takes a dip, swim's around a bit and then gets back out.  The day we went it wasn't too hot and so us adults didn't have that "desire" to cool off as we would normally have.

So what did we do? Well you know those little "palapas" on the beach made out of the coconut tree leaves?

We seemed to make our way underneath one of those and took a snooze.

We had a vivid conversation going at first, you can tell B was trying to make his point ha ha

But eventually the nice ocean breeze got the best of him...

We had an awsome time, I mean when don't you have a good time at the beach?  I was totally unprepared because I hadn't left myself a pair of shorts or a swim suit to get in the water.  All of my summer wear was in California so I ended up having to wear boyshorts.  It worked out though because it wasn't that hot.  Had it been in the hot summer months I would not have been a happy camper.

B's phone call made me remember our last visit to the playa and I thought I would share with you another one of Nayarit's beautiful beaches.  A plus about this beach is that at the entrance there are several panadarías (bakeries) where they sell all kinds of delicious panes. 

That afternoon as we left the beach we stocked up on pan for a late night snack back at home.  The kids loved it and devoured every piece!

I really wish I could be with the gang soaking up the sun, but all in due time....right?
