Seems like there is always something going on in La Paz for the community to enjoy and it’s beginning to feel like home.  We recently attended an antique car show held in town along the waterfront – cars from the 20’s through the 70’s were on display - a collection owned by locals and visitors alike, some of which are used as a regular mode of transportation.  Not to be outdone, boaters were busy playing with their toys and getting their boats looking shiny new.  We saw a yacht at Marina del Palmira which had a garage (lower level) to house their Runabout and Sea Doo, wow!  Our boat needed cleaning and waxing as well due to the extremely salty sea and never ending harsh ultraviolet light.  We decided to make use of the local services and hired a Mexican business to wash and wax the entire boat; the three amigos did an excellent job at a fraction of what it would have cost in the States.  Our marina stay has been a real pleasure; Marina del Palmira has several cafes, a lovely swimming pool and garden, and a nearby fruit stand that sells drinks, whole coconuts, and pineapple.  We discovered that buying whole pineapple is the only way to go since the canned pineapple here seems to be of poor quality.  We also discovered more interesting buildings and restaurants in La Paz like the Old Town Hall, basically a shell that houses a book store and coffee shop.  While biking through town, we discovered a great restaurant that serves quality seafood dishes.  This thatched roof, open-air style restaurant called a palapa was filled with locals – we had delicious crab and shrimp served with tortillas, chips, cabbage and salsas.
