I wonder if they work?? He is going to try casting from shore near the Barcelo....didnt you stay there, Dana? Should he bother?
There is a dock that looks interesting. Also to the south of the cove a point that might be worth checking out. There seems to be some structure as there are lots of rocks sandwiched between the sandy beaches (where the pier goes out.) It's a fairly long low pier. Could be worth a look see.

The pier... (I don't know if you can fish from it or not) but this would be my likely place to start.

Cool, thanks......I think he mentioned the pier as structure....might be too many people snorkeling near there, he will have to be careful.


Another question- is there a dive shop on site there, and do they leave from there to do dives?


Random......low fat hummus is not very good.

They had one in 04 when I went....but it went out at Puerto Adventuras...but I am sure things have changed....
But they did have a neat snorkel tour that went out to the reef by the resort - that was like $10 to take you out and back. Well worth it -

check out the unoffical barcelo forum board - they have tons of info about the Barcelo. I want to go back....I hear the Palace is very very nice !

I didn't know about the boat tour, that is great, I am sure we will do that.

I have looked once or twice on that unofficial barcelo site....not a whole lot on there, really. But I will check for diving info. I am betting you are spot on about the boats leaving from PA.
I would really like to go to Coz for the day and dive, we might do that.

Yes it does suck to get old!!!

(but you aren't old!)

I think that is the dock at the Barcelo he posted a pic of! Lafayette?

Don has never really had much luck surf fishing on this side, either. Actually, on either side!

I now have the light blues or is that the lite blues (less filling) ...the kind of blues you might paint a baby's bedroom......not the dark blues, that if you stare at it long enough you're sure its black.

I kind of grove on the light blues......easy listening

In the past, drugs and alcohol have been a contentious issue with politicians. President Bill Clinton caused a stir when he famously claimed he "didn't inhale" when asked about trying pot as a student.
Years later, President Barack Obama said he "never understood that line" from Clinton and admittedhe had tried pot -- and inhaled. "That was the point," Obama said.
Former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson, also a Republican presidential candidate, has alsoexplicitly talked about his experimentation drugs and alcohol, saying he "never exhaled" while smoking pot.


I saw this today and it made me laugh a bit.

I love it! They start pecking at you and you just want to smack them off. But the peck is more annoying than painful and it just wouldn't be right slapping a duck.
