A little more from Progreso, Yucatán

Mexico, Travel, Yucatán Peninsula, , , , ,

Sept 6 – What do you do when you just can’t swim and sleep anymore? Walk into town, of course, where you can:

…find flamingo wall art
…and pirates
…and Frida Kahlo
…hummingbirds and jaguars
…and everything Yucatán
…a statue of Pancho Villa
…admire the lighthouse, which is not on the shore, but blocks back into the town
…and a tribute to kids and their cellphones with the long pier in the background
Walk all the way to the end of the malecón to admire the world’s longest pier – 4 miles long, as the water is too shallow to allow large container or cruise ships to dock any nearer
Walk under the pier to the old wooden boardwalk
Sassy gulls and pelicans here
This end of town looks more like an old fishing village
Pelicans looking for dinner
Back on the malecón to look for beach souvenirs…
…and find a place for a seafood lunch – we eat seafood every day when we’re at the beach
Interesting appetizers – papaya with hot sauce, hot dogs in French dressing
When you order coconut shrimp here, you get the coconut!
Would you like one more sunset? Here you go! Thanks for the R & R Progreso, best beach ever!
