Mexico 2010



the resort had so many colorful walls.. it was Fun

Just trying out my new shoes!!
Little boy selling gum on the beach
This little boy was with the other boy and their dad on the beach, when i took a picture of him he just lit up and started posing for me.. too cute

We were just chillin on the beach in the evening and then we saw these shells scuffling across the beach... they turned out to be crabs

Shopping place we went too.. see on the left all the people ready to swarm when someone round the corner..


This town had so many amazing doorways ... I was in heaven!
How I started each and every day (pancakes, icing sugar, SPRINKLES, and syrup)

One of the many sun bathing on the tin roof

Next to our resort was a wind surfing competition.. it was really neat. Now i'd like to wind surf one day
One of the pools we hung out at mostly

We got tired of running back for a drink every minute since the cups they give as soo small, so we got these!
My own form of Tostatas (no clue how thats spelled)
Some sort of fruit covered in chili powderMy highlight of the trip - candy on the beach :)

Getting ready to leave on our ATV tour

For some reason writing things in the sand is so much fun

This past Saturday June 5Th we took a red eye flight (which we thought would be nice and quiet... boy were we wrong.. the plane was packed with eager vacationers which equalled not much sleep) to Puerto Vallarta. We got to Mexico at about 8:00 am and took a short bus right to a town just outside Puerto Vallarta called Bucerias.. which began our nice relaxing vacation. We spent most our days laying on the beach or by the many pools, and swimming in the ocean and pool. And then of course eating lots.. it was nice their was two buffets open almost all day to late into the night, and when it was closed they conveniently had a snack bar open for a while, as well as a couple bars open all the time for us to enjoy or Pina Coladas, Daiquiris, Mojiotos, and my new favorite Happy Bananas (colda, grenadine, banana syrup, and ice). The resort had 5 restaurants, all of which we tried each night; Brazilian, Mexican, Thai, Italian, and Japanese. - the Thai and Italian were more or less the only great ones. We did one tour - ATVs. It was pretty fun, we were so dirty afterwards, but we survived, Bryan was a little disappointed the pamphlet was a little misleading, we were both thinking it was going to be dangerous and more wild. Thankfully for me it was more mild than wild. We did some walking through the town, eventually finding the shops for some shopping - the people selling things were so hard to ignore and get away from. Some of them just wouldn't get the picture when we said No a million times .. ugh - kinda annoying but expected. However I will say it was very nice everyone on the resort and in the town spoke English very well.
We got to see lots of wildlife without leaving our resort, we saw - a snake on the beach (swam back in the ocean down from our resort), small lizards, tons of iguana's, a frog, birds, and little crabs in sea shells on the beach.
We had a really nice time and the weather was perfect, it wasn't to hot and defiantly and improvement from here !
