There were pelicans everywhere. They loved to
hang out around the fishing boats. Their
own fishing style was to dive straight down into the
water with a huge splash and usually come up with
a mouthful of fish.

There are three kinds of pelicans in this area. We saw
brown pelicans and American white pelicans.



The fisherman, below, was pulling up a net. He was
pulling in shrimp. The pelicans were hoping
for a treat.




While we stayed at La Ensenada we enjoyed
the warm weather and just relaxing by the pool.
We had had a lot of cold, rainy weather in the
mountains and the change was welcome.
One morning we took a four hour boat ride. We
explored some mangrove swamps and wetlands
near a park called Palo Verde.
