On the toll road you still see many
vendors vying for your business.
The road into San Blas was
interesting, about as narrow as the roads in Baja, but there were
trees and shrubs on the side of the road hitting the sides and top of
the rig. We discovered later that the regulars use a different
route. But, until you do something you never know and it was an
experience. We didn't stay in San Blas, but further down the road as
our RV book stated “another memorable San Blas attraction, the
mosquitoes and jejenes (no see ums)” After Teacapan and still
dealing with all the bites we decided that we didn't want to camp in
San Blas. Another attraction of the area is a boat ride in the swamp
to see crocodiles and snakes. Neither one of which I'm a fan of. So
we passed on that sightseeing.
This is the wider part of the swamp
without all the foliage overhangs.
San Blas is a very old port city
that at one time had 30,000 people. There are two churches side by
side and I was enthralled with the oldest one.
The walls of the fort that remain.
A little ways
down the hill from the fort is the remains of a church. 
San Blas has
a lot of history.

On the beach,
where we stayed, there were tons of palapas with only a handful of
people using them. I don't understand why they place them where the
ocean can reach them. Hopefully the palapa use will pick up as the
tourist season progresses. The disadvantage of being so close to the
beach is the locals come down for the day and play loud music. One
night it was 3:30 am when they started!
We had the laundry done
while here. So nice not to have to spend the day doing it. The
lavanderίa
charged 10 pesos per kilo, not by the load. That's about 80¢
a kilo to wash, dry and use their supplies. Beats doing it.
Things are very green.
