Ay Carumba!
How wonderful it is to be on vacation in Puerto Vallarta (actually, Nuevo Vallarta) with the sun, the sand, the smells and the people.
I love it here. It's always so challenging to remember why we don't just chuck it all and move down here, homeschool the kidlets, I can teach vacationers and expats how to move their bodies without pain and Jeff and I can open up a little
coffeehouse.
Why not? Por que no?
Sunday's walk was throughout the expansive grounds of our resort, with the added thrill of large bats buzzing us as we walked. Awesome!!!! So much bigger and closer than our Pacific Northwest Brown Bats. We were thrilled! After an extra long day of flight delays and sitting on our keisters too long, it felt great.
Monday's walk was with a destination in mind--Eddie's! A great little restaurant a mile from our resort, we dined on breakfast burritos and Mexican coffee, laced with cinnamon, azucar and vanilla. The next two hours were spent navigating grocery shopping and then the afternoon in the pool.
The largest pool in Central America, by the way.
Until it rained. Ayeyiyi! We were lucky enough to be caught in a torrential rainstorm, one that deposited a few inches on the ground within 20 minutes. With too-close lightning bolts kicking us out of the pool, we spent the rest of the afternoon seated on the balcony, applauding thunder and lightning
Pictures to follow. Internet is a little slow, so photos are a hassle to post right now.
Tuesday's walk was over 5 miles, strolling through the streets of Puerto Vallarta, and then walking on the beach alongside waves that almost claimed the lives of my kids (THAT was scary, but my husband is oh, so brave!). We finally fell exhausted, full of shrimp-stuffed chili rellenos and happy, into our beds.
Now it's Wednesday, and today's walk will be beachy and long, later this afternoon. Cannot wait, but had to blog now while I had a second.
I wish you could smell the air, feel the heat and enjoy the absolute laziness that a Mexican holiday affords. I would share it with you if I could, but this is the best I can do right now...
Hasta,
Dani
