Jan 23

The Bridge of Life
That's what it is called. This swinging pedestrian bridge allows people to walk from La Penita to Guayabitos. A number of residents make that trip every day to travel from the small poorer town of La Penita to the richer Gringo Gulch of Guayabitos which also has most of the hotels and tourist places in the area. Before the bridge was built ( mainly due to the gringos in Guayabitos), the locals had to walk on the highway bridge to get there. Each year there were many that were killed by the traffic unfortunately. Thus the name.

There are alligators in the water, so you don't want to swim across ! Helene won't walk on it if someone else is on it. You have to take small steps or it starts to swing .
We spent a great day on the beach yesterday including a long walk at low tide. Actually caught the last quarter of the Patriots game at Salvadors Restaurant and Bar. They had pictures from the 2009 and 2010 Grey Cups there too. We finished off with a great meal and visit with Mimi and Yves.

Low tide .

Today we stayed at the house and created . It was a hot day , so we cooled off in the pool. This is the internet , so no pictures of Helene in her new bathing suit ! None of me for equally obvious resaons ! Adios !
