We spoke with our family in our condo tonight. They said that there are issues with using the palapas on Eagle Beach. Apparently, locals are taking have taken them over and act like they own them, however; they are not the two legged locals, but rather the 4 legged ones with wagging tails. Yep, the dogs have taken over and refuse to move. They don't growl or anything like that. They just sit under it and make it hard for humans to sit under the palapas-one or two to each of the palapas. It doesn't help that people are bringing them food and water and giving it to them under the palapas, so of course they don't want to move a muscle.
They also said the mosquitoes are awful right now.
They also told us a story about a woman visitor to the island, who was arguing with the security or whatever you call the person that make sure you have a cart at SuperFoods. She was barefoot and he refused to let her in the store and she couldn't understand why she could not walk around a grocery store with nothing on her feet.
