Sunday Julia planned a trip to the beach town of Cojimies which is about 133 k from Canoa
This was a full day with stops along the way for photos and lunch at the beach....we checked out a beautiful gated community on the way back near Jama.......complete with tennis courts and an infinity pool over looking the ocean. Pictures will follow as soon as I can get them off the phone...having a technical problem.
