Barra de Navidad, Mexico


A beautiful drive north of Manzanillo lead us to the town of Barra. Along the way we passed plantations of palms.
In this shot we are walking out toward the end of the jetty to read the monument that is dedicated to sailors from the 1500's. They used this spot as a jumping off on trips to the Philippines.
There is plenty of shopping in town. Although, we spent most of our time at the beach relaxing. A highlight for our children was to buy candy being sold along the beach out of wheelbarrows. We didn't realize it posed a health risk until we returned home and read about the levels of lead in candy made in Mexico!
