Today we made our way to the beach in Progresso for the first time. Crystal clear water and powdery sand combined with lots of sun made for a great day. The kids were certainly having a great time playing in the sand and splashing in the calm surf.
Progresso has the longest pier in the world at an amazing four miles long. Trucks and buses shuttle back and forth, since it's used for shipping and the occasional cruise ship. Few gringos around today and plenty of room on the beaches, so it seems there are no cruise ships docked currently.
We had lunch right on the beach under a palapa at the Shark Restaurante, then bought Lukas a conch shell from a passing vendor.
He learned right away how to use it as a horn, so spent the rest of the time being the beach lifeguard. He felt very important as he blew his conch shell from the edge of the water, waving each of us left or right, or out of the surf from time to time!
Oh yes, and Emma wore another one of her signature floppy hats to the beach: both stylish and functional. So not to worry, Aunt Robin...we're protecting those little blonde heads!
Lots of Sun block.
