Xcalak village

Well the town itself is pretty compact,  you can drive through it in a few minutes.  If the roads were paved,  even less.  But it has pretty much everything I need.  There is a laundry, a tortillaria, a few economical, family run restaurants, some  very good restaurants, a couple of hotels, small stores to buy groceries, tequila , 5 gallon drinking water refills and stalls to buy whatever fruit & vegetables available that day.  There is not a lot of variety, but the basics are there .  For more selection and gas, a trip to Mahahual (about 45 minute drive) is required.  Remember -  there are NO  ATM  machines here;  nearest are in Mahahual !   Bring  more pesos than you think you will need  or you will be driving 45-60 minutes to replenish - if  you can find an ATM  working ! 
I am posting a few photos of the town,  please check back periodically, as I will be adding more.
I will try to put photos of the actual stores,  laundry & such  as I return to the town.
