It's not very far from where we live in Volcan to the coast. About 30 miles due south will reach the Pacific and a little farther (and over the mountains) and we could be at the Atlantic (Caribbean) coast.
Today we traveled down the Pan American Highway, east of David about 25 miles, then south to the coast. The small town of Boca Chica itself does not have much to offer, but nearby are a couple of resorts with restaurants and great coastal views, including the small islands nearby.
On the way, we stopped to visit with our new friends "Sam" and Fred and their great pets. Two Doberman dogs and a squirrel monkey... along with another dog and various birds. They are on a private hilltop outside of Boca Chica and have an excellent view of the mountains, David at night, and the Pacific inlets and coves. The climate at nearly sea level is much too warm for me, but we had a nice visit!
I did get to let the monkey climb on my arm and Blue got to chase the monkey. Blue discovered that he is not as fast as a monkey, and that dogs cannot climb trees.
