Today we went poking around.  This is something that Ken and I are very good at doing. This  is the opposite of beginning with the end in mind.  Poking around is just finding what is out there to find.  Our boys hated doing that.  They wanted to

know where we were going and what were we going to do when we got there. But now that we are old, we can poke around to our hearts content.

O today we walked.Some of the hotels  we went in to inspect, if they were especially gorgeous, and others we just walked on by. We walked and we walked.  We saw all the resorts north of our resort of Playa Royale, until we ran out of resorts. This took almost three hours.  The Rui hotel is beautiful and was worth the time we stopped to go in.  Of course, by then we were in need of  the facilities.  But finally we were at the end,but no restaurants.  

So a cab ride took us to the next little town, Bucerias, where we ate lunch at a charming little restaurant by the shore, while we watched the local children swim.  Lovely indeed.

Now the question is how to get home.  We decided on the bus.  But when you get on a Mexican bus you are never sure where you are going.  But we got on anyway.  Sure enough,the bus did not go where we wanted to go.  Folks here are unfailingly polite and helpful, so eventually we arrived home, which made Ken happy because the bus fare was 20 cents each.
