Bahia Agua Verde

The village of Agua Verde was a special treat; its small but nice homes (still cement block, but painted bright colors with patterned curtains over the windows) tucked under date palms, tiny store (the size of a walk-in closet in the USA), and friendly pangueros (fishermen in small boats) all felt welcoming. 

Our guidebook said there was a restaurant in the village, but in reality the 'restaurant' was a woman who would pull out a small table and plastic chairs and cook for someone if they happened to stop by. "Tacos de pescado?" she inquired--Do you want fish tacos--and knowing that 1) we love fish tacos and 2) that's all she had to offer, we replied "Si! Queremos tacos de pescado!"--Yes, we want fish tacos (which were as delicious as they were authentic). Fortunately my simple Spanish--reasonably good 40 years ago, but terribly rusty now--is sufficient for us to make purchases, get directions, deliver some supplies we brought for the village schools, etc.
