Array annotation strangeness

Back on iterating through a mapKit annotation array, I'm bending my brain cell on this one.

All my annotations are instances of the MyLocation class

I added a method to expose the properties I want to save by returning a dict to the class.

After all annotations are added, and I want to walk the array and build an array of annotations, I do this:

- (IBAction)saveData:(id)sender
{
		for (NSDictionary * myAnnotation in self.mapView.annotations)
		{
			MyLocation *tempLocation = [[MyLocation alloc] init ];

		//	test that the methods in the MyLocation objects actually work on an empty object
			NSString *myString = [tempLocation name];
			NSDictionary *myDict = [tempLocation returnCoordinatesInDict];
			NSDictionary *myStuffDict = [tempLocation returnPropertiesInDict];
		//	Try it with one of the MyLocation objects in the annotation array
			NSDictionary *myGoodsDict = [myAnnotation returnPropertiesInDict];

Xcode will not let the last line compile with a "Receiver type 'NSDictionary' for instance message does not declare a method with selector 'returnPropertiesInDict'

But if I comment out that line, set a breakpoint, it clearly shows that myAnnotation is a myLocation instance just like tempLocation.

Does anyone know what I am missing here?

Thanks,
- Alex
