Hotel Marina Puerto Dorado Manzanillo

... after searching for the parts for a while we decided it was cheaper and better to have Josh fly back to the states and get em. Today is Saturday, May 9th and were still waiting. I think I'm gonna go inland and see some ruins, maybe go to Pascuales after. Manzanillo's not a bad place to be stuck at all, made some friends, and hopefully these jellyfish will go away soon so we can get in the water.

... line running from a compressor over to the diver. Not only were there divers to watch for but because of holding pens for shellfish which are on shallow shoals all over the lagoon the channel which goes into the lagoon was EXTREMELY shallow and narrow. We actually touched keel to sand at one point, really, really shallow and narrow ...

We packed up "La Familia" (we started calling my truck this which is Spanish for The Family half way through the trip due to the fact we had my mom and my dad riding for two weeks with us) for the three hour drive to Barra De Navidad or Christmas Bar. We stopped in the Mismaloya area of Puerto Vallarta for lunch and head the best fish we had our entire trip. We got into Barra De Navidad on the weekend of the end of the holiday week and it was ...

This place was definitely the best surf yet. It was nice to finally see some decent waves, and we were very excited to test them out. As we paddled out we realized that we didn't even have to paddle, that the water was only waste deep. We tried to catch the waves a little farther out so we wouldn't get smashed into the sand. There was this one wave that was a nice left hander so Tyler and I both went ...

... The result was incredible destruction that left the resort in its present condition. Like a wrecked ship it has long been stripped of anything of value and all that remains is the concrete shell. It is nevertheless a tribute to its concrete construction that it did not collapse despite the severe earthquake. It is hard to imagine however that a prime piece of real estate on such a beautiful beach would remain undeveloped. According to Donald ...

... a beautiful malecón in the city of Campeche located in the Yucatan on the Gulf of Mexico. In Barra de Navidad the malecón is not a boardwalk as it is constructed of interlocking stones creating a wide, slightly winding promenade from which the marvellous view of this unique geographical location can be best enjoyed. Needless to say there are no cars on the malecón. It is pedestrian only and that fact is made clear by a stone arch which marks ...

... location of Barra de Navidad was the most unique of all the 23 locations we visited during our discovery tour of Mexico. As we walked around town we were fascinated with a Mexican holiday tradition - the sale of "roscas de reyes". http://www.wildyeastblog.com/2009/01/05 /rosca-de-reyes/ We've have had many glimpses into Mexican culture. The "roscas de reyes" was an interesting addition to this ...

... etc. to produce a unique serendipitous experience. The problem with that approach is that it would be very time consuming but I think it would produce a great blog. Can I do it? No, I have too many other plans to pursue in the near and distant future that I can't wait to get started on. Getting back to Bob for a moment, since he was a man who seemed to have the look of experience imprinted on his face, I was determined to ...

... yet, so fortunately we have been lucky enough to find places to camp. That´s it for tonight. We should be getting close to Acapulco tomorrow, but not sure how fast the travelling will be. It may be another day after that. It is looking like we should be arriving at the border of Guatemala by Wednesday, maybe Thursday, or possibly friday, who knows. I know this probably sounds a bit disorganized, but I´m pretty tired, so I´m just writing things as I remeber em.

... him raise his head), and the barman who was entrapped by his large circular bar, supporting all the aforementioned. Before he'd even spoke, I sensed the eccentricity of this barmen, in his eccentric bar, and grew a smile. I ordered a Bohemia beer after which the barman rattled off almost 5 minutes of the fastest Spanish I've ever heard... I managed to pick up (more by body language than words) that he only had one ...
