Ate one of the best breakfast&#8217;s I&#8217;ve ever had (I say this sort of thing alot.), but it was really good. Manchaca for the win!! Stepped in a lot of Donkey shit. This was not exactly so much fun, as it just sorta added to the experience. Swam under a waterfall after a hot ass hike.<\/p>\n<p>The anchorage was a little rolly, but totally worth it. Didn&#8217;t even have to break out the dinghy, the water taxi would pick us up at the boat and drop us off at the &#8220;downtown pier&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/chickenbone\/12839721594\/\" title=\"IMGP0040 by Chknbone, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/c2.staticflickr.com\/8\/7355\/12839721594_56434807d9_c.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" alt=\"IMGP0040\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<a href=\"http:\/\/palarran.com\/log\/yelapa-mexico-its-good\/\" style=\"background-image: url(http:\/\/farm4.staticflickr.com\/3727\/12839763584_aa8c861bca_c.jpg);\" class=\"thumb_crop\">http:\/\/farm4.staticflickr.com\/3727\/12839763584_aa8c861bca_c.jpg<\/a><p>Attention the rest of Mexico.
