We have rented a casita (cabin) on the shores of Lake Bacalar. This lake is ridiculously blue. Bacalar means lake of seven colours in Mayan. It is freshwater but you would swear it is the Carribbean sea. Logan got in his water wings and hat and went out for a kayak this a.m. with daddy around our section of the lake. It is fed by seven cenotes which give it the incredible clarity. Lots of swimming throughout our days. The village is very laid back and clean. Oh, I should also mention that it is cheap. Not really developed for tourism, pueblo bacalar is keeping it real! Delicious food too. Barbecued chicken in a huge stone oven. I like 6 dollar meals for a family of four!
Internet does not seem to upload any photos from Bacalar so these are later add ons. We figured this spot out from looking at google back home and saw the colours and white sand. It is right near the border of belize about a half hour from mexican city called chetumal.
Seriously.... this is a lake, not an ocean. I think this takes the cake for clearest water for us now. If you click on the image you can even see fish.
