Mexico...Barra River Crossing.

Barra De La Cruz....................this place is down from Puerto .
All the mexican kids thought it was hilarious seeing the white gringo with his family in the rental car doing the river crossings (the thing needed a wash with all the mud that had collected on it further up north near Puerto) . I'll put Wendy on to finish this one while I get ready to head out.

This river was not deep at all but I was concerned that it may have been very soft sand that the car would sink into. I asked Mal to get out and walk through it first to see if it was soft. It wasn't, so we passed through successfully creating a big wave.
Mal did have "spit" with the car when he couldn't get it into reverse as he wanted to get a run up into the water. We were trying to get to a beach that Mal has always wanted to go to and we had followed the road through the village which slowly became narrower and narrower and started to go through fields rather than sand. We decided to double back and the kids in this photo pointed which road was the correct one. It was a very small village which normally would have no tourists at all.
