| the flowers from our hotel |
Thursday, we left in the morning...checking out was painful-such a beautiful hotel. Lots of amazing flowers, ocean views. Mancora is still coastal desert, but it soon gives way to jungle..we didn't have time to get up there, very near the border with Ecuador. The town itself reminds me of southern California and all the beach towns from Del Mar to San Juan Capistrano. Here are some tropical flowers outside our bungalow. Loved the many colors of bouganvilla.

| Our family in Punta Sal (including Reynaldo) |
We drove a bit north to Punta Sal, a beach town more family friendly, less partying. Lunch on the beach and then back to Catacaos to finish shopping for jewelry. As mentioned in a previous post, Catacaos is famous for filigree silver work. Here's an example of what they do...they melt it down into thin strings of silver and then form designs.

We looked around and headed to the airport. We arrived early because we had to return our car. There was a cafeteria upstairs with couches and comfortable chairs and we could order food and hang out on the couches until we had to check in for our flight. I highly recommend Piura airport ...it's airconditioned too. Love that.
