Our day in Escanada, Mexico was cool and overcast. We debated over the various "excursions" listed on the brochure offered by the cruse line but I hadn't been impressed with the reviews I read online so in the end decided to find our way into town and check things out ourselves.
As I went through security a second time for the street map we forgot to pick up Jay had an interesting conversation with one of the security persons located on the dock. He suggested we ride the 3 dollar shuttle into town rather than walk. This seemed like a good idea to me as I didn't want to tire my feet just getting to the fun. The decision to take the bus was one of our better idea as our "tour guide" on the short journey gave us the sales pitch for the Mexican version of the excursions for the half price the curse line offered. We decided the horse ride along the beach sounded like a fun adventure. Not only did we pay half price but they also took us to two of the other excursion destinations as well as serving us lunch.
Of course the discount Mexican version of the horse ride was bound to have some interesting elements ....like creative horse tack. I didn't get a photo but Jay later told me one of his stirrups was made from a car seat belt.
We rode through a field of pretty wild flowers and then past an interesting roadside second-hand store/campsite type thing on our way to the beach.
Neither of us had ever ridden a horse on the beach before. It was a nice was you enjoy the water on a chilly day.
Thank you Mexican horse for a nice ride on the beach.

I don't know, but an excretion destination after a horse ride doesn't sound like the name of a place I'd voluntarily choose to go.
well, sometimes all that bouncing on the horse makes an excretion destination necessary.
