We came out fairly early in the morning. Saw the vultures first, then the coyotes then the mashed cows.
Didn't see any mashed cars though.
Love that drive going in, looking down on the bay and the islands. Magic!
Then you get to the ugliest mess on the peninsula....!

Alas, your words are so true,
but the LABay lovers herein will never agree with the truths you express about what you encounter at the bottom of the hill.
The town really is a mess, sad to say.

If you feel that way then don't go there, leave it to the rest of us to enjoy.

I travel every year with a group of between 10 and 14 guys who are great to travel, but have no imagination...., two weeks of just hanging out.
This year the vote was typical...
13- LABay
1- anywhere else,
sigh,
lost again,
the great trips have been Ascuncion, Gonzaga, cave paintings, Parque Nacional, etc. etc.
but, they just want to grind on down to the dumps every time.
sigh....

See, even you can't deny it...
We found a great place north along the beach out of town. A collection of cabana's with a central kitchen with a great, laid back, gregarious guy
running it. Forgotten the name sorry to say.
Not sorry I went there. Like I said, driving in was magic. The town shocked me but it did look lik an old 'working town" on it's way up, Sorry I
twisted your nickers..
Thanks for your advice though

Sounds like Camp Gecko and Doc Abraham. That is no longer a camp area... sadly.

You know what I can't stand most about the place? Snorkeling with the whale sharks and manta rays... that part is an awful burden...
Even worse? Yoking up jurel a short boat ride out. That makes my arms so tired I have to gut and ice them right away so I can go get some wasabi and
soy sauce onto 'em.
Totally get it about the town... we really spend hardly any time in town.
I know there is a little social activity in town and some of my friends have good friends in town but we kind of chill and do our own thing.
Sounds like you may have stayed at Villa Bahia... gecko is well south of town.
Places call to you or they don't.... don't want everyone liking the same thing, right?

That is correct. I am almost 55 and I can't seem to avoid missing a word here and there. My new corrected guesses include Daggett's and La Ventana.
