We were able last year to do some birding by a big lake south of town (I've forgotten the name).

We really enjoyed CQC, especially the room, privacy, and views, but I think both wanted it to feel a little more exclusive, or posh, or something like that, especially since it was our delayed honeymoon. It felt more like a hotel than we had hoped, I think, and the food was pretty good, but not fantastic (still far better than Benjamin Vogthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10661489036836711335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218275625589637009.post-56751127927709696452008-01-14T23:49:00.000-06:002008-01-14T23:49:00.000-06:00We'll be in Zihuat in a couple of weeks... anythin...We'll be in Zihuat in a couple of weeks... anything you left behind that we need to pick up? We're going to stay this time in Brisas del Mar on Playa Madera. I'd like to get out in the country more this trip (went on a daytrip to Playa Blanca last time and that was about it).<BR/>DonIBOYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13160379892465206319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218275625589637009.post-58228279317402185822008-01-14T12:13:00.000-06:002008-01-14T12:13:00.000-06:00Layanee--I'm SURE there are cuter couples than us,...Layanee--I'm SURE there are cuter couples than us, but thanks for the boost!
