Ian picked us up in the morning, and took us to the pirata stop. We all piled intothe pirata to Sontecomapon village, and then took the launcha to Ian's house on Sontecomapan Lagoon. Ian has a nice house on the lagoon, near the Gulf of Mexico. He had not been to the house in a while, living in his apartment in Catemaco, so there was cleanup to do. We helped a little, but mostly sat on the porch, overlooking the lagoon. We walked over to Rancho Los Amigos, which is now a resort for the eco-backpacking set, with dormitories and hammocks.
Ian bought the land for his house from the owner of the Rancho. The ranch is now being subdivided for vacation homes.
We took the lancha across the lagoon to La Barra for lunch. We had lunch with Francisco, a retired Mexican advertising executive, who speaks excellent English.
After lunch, we went back to the house and took the picture below from the porch. Richard took a sit-on-top kayak out on the lagoon for a spin.
We took a lancha back to Sontecomapan, a pirata back to town, and Ian dropped us off at the Tepetapan. We chatted with Gene, Monique and Cliff until well after dark.
The photo below was taken outside our casita. Someone suggested that we should not report a Tarantula without producing a picture, so here is a picture.
