Hanging out on Rio Dulce at Mango's Marina, named after the tree shown, a lovely spot with the usual local amenities- tiny pool, library, showers, home cooking on request.  The ladies are teaching us to make tortillas, but it's practice practice practice.  We're a 10 minute dinghy ride from town with our 4 hp motor- less with someone else's.  There's a chaotic shopping street with phone cards, fried chicken vendors, banks, shoes, and everything else you could possibly want.  Also pizza (ok), Chinese food (alleged), and a great bakery (sells out of bread in the first hour).  But the shopping comes to us:  a farm nearby sends a boat full of coolers to every marina on Tuesday and Saturday- with meats, dairy stuff, fresh bread, fruit, vegetables.  Nice!
