Huatulco 2012

Well, Seamus finally got to go with me to Huatulco, and we had some great fun.

The first day we didn’t do much, slept late then went into town for some lunch and to see the church there, which I never tire of.  Pictures appear to be posting wherever they like this year, so sorry, but I haven’t been able to change it yet.  Also, I didn’t take quite as many pictures this time as a lot of it you folks have seen before.

The second day we went for our ATV tour and Seamus got to drive his own ATV which was good fun for him, I think.  We went to a lot of places and through the bush to some beaches we never would have seen otherwise.  SEamus, of course, was busy investigating all the rocks for crabs and anything else he could find.  That night we went out for dinner and Seamus got a job.    I also finally, with my new camera, got some good pictures of the ouraca (I think that’s how it’s spelled).  I’ve been trying to get pics of him for years and never gotten a good one.

That was the night too, where I was kept awake all night by dogs barking and I thought one of the guests had smuggled in some pets and then left them lonely while they partied.  It turned out that two dogs, well-kept and knew their basic commands, had fallen down the cliff behing our room and were trapped with no food or water. Seamus figured out a great way to get some water to them – I’ll try and load the video here,, but if  I can’t it’ll be on cybercroneca’s YouTube channel.

The really funny thing was that I figured out that the dogs knew their hand signals for sit and so on, so when the animal rescue came to get them out I told the guy that the animals knew English, and said “Sit” and did the hand signal, and they sat.  It cuased quite a bit of excitement among the workers to see that the dogs understood English.  Seamus did the same thing to the second set of guys that came and got the same reaction.  It was a HOOT!

I will be closing this now and doing some more days later, hoping that the glitches here will be fixed or else that I can insert the photos appropriately if I do all the text first.
