The Beach "Playa Tilapa"

Hey, never knew what "mangroves" was until now. Check out the cool way the trees, roots, and shrubs grow.


Went to beach this weekend. The first photo is the entrance to our hotel. We had to take a small boat to get to there. It was a long trip (about 5 hours) on two very crowded buses. A school bus with at least 3 people to a seat bumping bachata and reggaeton music. It made it very hard for me to study. Not sure why, but we were the only ones on the entire beach. It was freaking hot!!! And the waves were so strong we could barley swim without the threat of drowning. One room with two double beds 75Q or 10 dollars for the night, one pineapple smoothie in a plastic bag for 5Q or about 70 cents, a boat tour of the beautiful mangroove 30Q or $4 per person, one fish dinner and 3 beers 50Q....not catching a parisite or having diarrea...priceless.
