More Bliss

Sorry folks, more birds and food. A recent commentator on this blog pointed out that it is only about birds, food and sailing. I had not spoken this person for 30 years or so. “Is this what your so promising life has become?” he asks.

Well yes, I suppose so but I feel no guilt.

I spend some days in the grounds of the glorious Hotel Paraiso el Miramar near San Blas. There are masses of birds and 4 fish restaurants on the beach about 5 minutes walk away.

Here we go again.
Lovely women sell me hot cake.

I eat mango followed by shrimp omelet for breakfast each day.
Parce que je le mérite. Getting ready for breakfast.

I return to San Blas for a boat trip into the mangroves.

Very rare Common Black Hawk
Just to break bird monotony, here is a man with a fish.
A Limpkin.
Juvenile Snail Hawk
Tiger Heron
Skulking Purple Gallinule
Immature White Ibis
Another short break from bird tedium
More familiar Great Blue Heron.

There are so many birds. This is definitely one of the great birdwatching excursions. Do it.

I go back to San Blas to eat carnitas tacos.

Out on the street.

What a wonderful time I have had in San Blas but St Valentine’s Day is approaching so I have to get out of town.
