Keith wanted to stop at a beach he had heard about, Playa Santa Clara. The cabanas there are thatched huts. | |
Canoes were anchored in the ocean off the shore. We did not see them in use, but they make for a pretty picture. | |
When we first arrived at the beach, we were greeted y these guys on horses and offered rides. | |
Great picture of Joe on the beach. |

After our walk down the beach, we stopped at the snack bar and had a Squirt. | |
After our drive to Chitre, we stopped at the Hotel Versailles and booked a couple of rooms. The hotel had a nice poolside area, with ginger plants. | |
We drove down to Las Tablas, about 40minutes south. It's an old town, not terribly exciting, but I found this beautiful old bell in front of the church. | |
After leaving Chitre, we made a short stop in La Arena to watch ceramics being made and to buy some. | |
Small artisans' market in La Arena. | |
The roofs of the houses in La Arena were really pretty, as you would expect in a village known for its ceramics. This picture doesn't really do them justice, but perhaps you can get the idea. |
