Pictures of Guayabitos and La Penita

My hotel in La Penita ( you can just see the bike Barb lent me on the left, leaning against the column)

My hotel again.  The castle in the background is another hotel.

 A very friendly cobbler we passed on a walk through La Penita to the hills beyond.

The view back over La Penita, the ocean and an island in the distance from the top of the hill.

A young girl and her dogs on the far side of the hill as we walked down to the fields below.

A brick making operation on the flats.  The bricks are dried in the sun and then stacked to form their own kiln.  On Friday we are going back to see the firing.  They build fires in each of the openings and let them burn for about 30 hours until the bricks are fired and red in colour.

The master in blue, journeyman in the white wife beater and apprentice in yellow, standing over 4 newly made bricks.

A caballero who asked for a copy of this picture and won't be happy that I cut off his horse's feet
