I'll be discovering Playa Grande, our neighbors, for the first time, and
will have some of my paintings for sale there. You can see 2 of them in this poster.
It's this coming Sunday. Love to see you there!

Several people are interested in going and making an afternoon of it...
it will be fun to see this luxury condo development, and also,
if you are in a vehicle, or take a bicycle there, you can shop at the shrimp farm
that is further along the road, between the condo and the Grand Bay Hotel.

I'm attaching a link - scroll down to see a map.

Could anyone who plans to go, and might want to share space in their vehicle,
post here. Then other people can be in touch with you directly. It's getting a
little complicated trying to co-ordinate this!

For those of us visiting the area and would like to attend the art show .... would you please give some instructions on how to get there. Is it in San Patricio?

Kerry, are you driving? If so, you would go past the turn-off to Barra,
and then take the road that says Isla de Navidad.
As you can see on the map,
the condo development is right at the end of that
road.

However, if you aren't driving, I think you could take a water taxi across to
the Grand Bay Hotel, for 20 pesos, look around there, and then get a taxi down the road
to the Playa Grande Condos.

Is that feasible, Jack? Do you know how much that taxi fare would be?

Taxis are not readily available in Colimilla. If you get there by water taxi then phone me at 315 108-8082 and we get some one to pick you up by car.

Oh, so is Colimilla the name of the little village where the Grand Bay
Hotel is? I think it's also the name of one of the really good fish
restaurants nearby, right?

...starting to put it all together...
