So here I am back again - missed Rockport while I was in Guatemala; although I had a great journey to Semuc Champey and across the highlands of Guatemala to San Christobal de las Casas in Mexico.
Along the way, I passed through market days in some great little villages and towns where indigenous dress changed from place to place and the marimba band played in the plaza at Huehuetenango.
I can certainly understand why Liz loves living here in Rockport! Despite the humidity, it's easy to enjoy life here. This was the delightful sight that greeted us in the lane at the end of Liz's road as we drove out today....
....a baby armadillo, so incredibly busy munching away it was unaware of the rising sun or of me so close by.Yesterday we went out on a boat Liz is taking care of, with her next-door neighbour Lonnie in the captain's seat.
(Deb and Al will be amused to know that we went to a shrimp boil a few weeks ago to celebrate Lonnie's installation in the chair of the local lodge!) Headed out from the canals of Key Allegro into the Gulf and on to Copano Bay.We're feeling a bit shaken up today from all the bouncing around. Sadly my Apollo Bay music festival hat (yep that one with the paint smears from the ashram) went flying in the middle of the Gulf; fortunately Lizzie captured it on camera for posterity..
Off to Castaways now to get a new one!
