Gwen
and I escaped to Puerto Vallarta Mexico between her Spring and Summer teaching
sessions thanks to a colleague's timeshare that was expiring. Carolyn
gave us a week anywhere and we chose Puerto Vallarta because we wanted
to veg on a beach and I remember it fondly from a family vacation.
We wanted to
bring friends, so we lucked out with a three bedroom overlooking the ocean
at a resort called Los Tules. Unfortunately, no one could make it.
As you'll see we managed to have a good time anyway..... |

This is the
view we woke up to every morning, sitting on our bedroom's balcony deciding
how to while away the day...
We took a drink-laden
cruise in the Marigalante, a refurbished 300 year old sailing ship... it
even has a disco ball!
This is a rooster fish, the largest
fish caught on our fishing expedition (though not reeled in by either of
us).
The bullfights
were gory but fascinating. Its truly a manly sport.
The "coco loco"
was the drink to be drunk at our resort bar. It had coconut juice
(and a bunch of other stuff) in it, and came in a very well decorated coconut.
Now you've seen
everything, Michael as a tree-hugger!

Another spectacular
view from one of the complex's eight pools.
And a fire dancer,
how much do you think he had to drink? And is it just me, or does
it seem odd to have fire on a wooden ship?
This is the
yellow fin tuna that Michael actually reeled in. Gwen caught a Bonito,
but we ended up using that as bait later in the day.
Ok, not only
was it testosterone-laden, but it was pretty artfully done. Those
bulls had REAL horns!
The saying in Mexico was "Don't drink
the water, drink the margaritas!" We took that to heart.
Multi-tasking
at its best! Staying cool, soaking up the rays and catching up on
that summer sappy love story all in one move.
