Sunday in Melaque

We went for a walk. The three of us exited the place and walked to the right when hit the first street. This would take us in the direction of the Laguna. As we walked we talked and laughed about everything around us. We passed Buz and Renny's place. We stayed there the first couple of years we visited. It was a nice place, very cheap and each person we met had a very color full back ground.

At Laguna De Tulli, the big hotel at the end of Melaque, we turned left and followed the streets away from the ocean. Mexico streets are dusty, have lots of old cars parked along the curb and posses a wide variety of sleeping dogs. Most dogs lay in the dirt and as you pass they raise their heads to check you out. This gesture acknowledges that you have been seen and it is OK for you to pass. They waist no energy and rarely get up, even if your path crosses their resting place.

We came to a street that forced us to turn left, but for some reason we looked over our shoulder and spotted a very nice side street leading to the Lanuna. We followed it two blocks and came to an area where there was a intersection made of cobblestones and concrete. Ornate street lamps lined the block and a boat ramp and dock sat at the edge of the laguna. This complete area was less then two blocks long and then there was nothing but dirt and trash. It looked like and oasis along the edge of the city.
