Sheep running after Gemma tried to join them

If Paraiso means "paradise" this is not it.  The only good thing I can say about this place is that the sheep are in charge of landscaping and they are busy.  Gemma had a great time chasing them around this morning as we were loading up the car. 

Getting gasoline, we saw the attendant filling up a plastic liter coke bottle for a guy on a motorcycle.  A couple of days ago I saw them stick the nozzle through the passenger window to dispense the fuel into who knows what.  Don't think they'd allow that in Texas or in Wisconsin. 



Cuidad del Carmen is our next scheduled stop.  We were back on major thoroughfares today so our progress was a bit less eventful.  We stopped at a touristy restaurant for a seafood lunch.  The view was fabulous and the seafood food was good too. 

We pulled into our cute little Azul Hotel and Restaurante that is about 200 yards from the beach.  The owner is an Indian gentlemen who was born in Singapore.    As we were getting settled, the hotel asked us to repark our car so we would not be in any danger of coconuts falling on our car.  Can you stand it?  We went upstairs to the restaurant for dinner.  It was disappointing so we are looking at options for tomorrow.
