Rio (river) Dulce (sweet) could not be more aptly named. We have settled into our life here and it is everything and more than we expected. There are several marinas stretched over a few miles around the town of Fronteras (Frontier). I would say the average marina size is 15 - 20 boats and so there are probably in excess of 300 boats waiting out hurricane season here. Many marinas, such as ours are accessible only by water, as are many of the businesses. Needless to say our dinghy gets a good workout. We take our laundry to the Backpackers Hotel just under the bridge. Each load is 35 Q, washed dried and folded which is is about $4.50 USD. We visit businesses along the river and in town and while it takes some searching we can usually find what we need. The fruits and vegetables in town are fantastic so we go often.

The orphanage, Casa Guatemala, comes to the marina in their launcha twice a week with frozen and refrigerated goods, so we buy our meats, cheese, butter and yogurt from them. Friday nights we go to Tortugal marina for pizza and a movie. Actually they send their launcha to pick us up. There is usually a good crowd from Marios marina, Catamarans marina, and from our marina - Monkey Bay. Of course there are many restaurants and the prices are very reasonable so they are fun to try out.
And the monkeys have been around.
