Santa Cruz Harbor

This cozy harbor with steep banks is where the large cruise ships stop. They use that long wharf. I arrived early to paint and down below me was a parade of sailors in white, marching to a drummer. They did this for about an hour. Probably good to get that over before it gets too hot. Reminded me of my basic training in Lubboc, Texas in August. We started at 5AM. Huatulco is misleading to those arriving on cruises as well as air. The harbor is not commercial. As you wind your way out to resorts, the roads are clean with white curbs and manicured green verges. It is in contrast to other areas found in Mexico. The apartments are tucked into the hills. There are several layers of mountains, including the the Sierra Madre. The trees have a rust color yet the foliage does not fall. The rains don't come until June. Anything green is being watered.
