We went to Parque Natural del Flamenco Mexicana (Celestun Biosphere Reserve) and saw the hundreds of flamingos that flock there every year. The flamingos here are some of the pinkest in the world due to large levels of carotene in the water. Flamingos are born white and in about a year and a half pick up the pink shades from the carotene and food.
met a nice man dragging a net for crabs
our boat took a sharp turn and we were suddenly engulfed in mangroves
inside the mangroves is this freshwater hole - ojo agua- where we jumped in for a swim. When you slap the water it fizzes from all the minerals in it - awesome!
