... and to converse with his family back home via Skype. I am beat. The nap is needed and well earned I feel. <br><br>I awake in time for sail out. I shower and head up on deck after conferring with Michael as to the evenings plans. I look smart in my back and white buffalo check shorts, and dark navy (almost black) tropical print shirt. The afternoon breeze has picked up and the humidity waned. Clouds are piling up against the mountains as the last of the ...

Finally, the reward for living through all of the storm. A beautiful morning - and finally feeling better.<br><br>Got off the Ship briefly before we left (total of 20 minutes) to take a few pictures.<br><br>Back onboard by 1pm.<br><br>At 4pm Classic Disco T-dance (delayed due to our extended stay in PV).

Arrived in Puerto Vallarta - safe and sound. Rained most of the day. I stayed in bed most fo the day trying to kick the flu.<br><br>By nightfall it was a beautiful sunset under clearer skies.<br><br>But Mazatlan was closed due to weather - and thus we stayed for another day in PV.

... was a natural pattern. It resembled a vibration of thought, a cyclical nature of a plant, insect, beast or earthly season. There was the beginning. There was the middle momentum.

... new road and came to the slow realization that we were going to have to traverse 300 kilometres without any gas or other signs of life except for the numerous construction areas and detours. On top of this we were starting to get fed up with the tolls, having spent over $50 to drive about 600 kilometres, including $16 on one particular 80 kilometre stretch where we spent most of our time going 30 km/hr on gravel detours. Just outside Tepic we ...

So the morning started off bad. I woke up with the street sweepers going up and down my street at 5:15 and I couldn't get back to sleep.  When I was laying in bed, I realized my hand itched then my arm. After about 10 minutes of itching I realized I had just gotten 5 mosquito ...

Rather then spend a lot of money getting buses down to Mexico, I found a cheap flight down to Puerta Vallarta in Mexico. This is just a big tourist resort and the plan was only to stay one night before getting a bus of there so I didn't realy get a feel for the place. I can sum it up simple as I arrived in late at night and left early the next morning. Still, I'm now in Mexico :)

The rest filled night we planned at La Laguna Santa Maria del Oro was all for not. There was a gathering of roosters and hens about 50 feet from the van that decided they would take turns and caw all night. By the time sunrise hit, we were both reaching for the machete and ready to have a bird roast. Michael decided to start the morning out by fishing along the banks of the lagoon and Geraldine soon followed. Our travel guide book noted that there were plenty of ...

From Sayulita Tuesday morning we packed and moved on down the coast to a great beach campground at Sayulita. Only an hours drive through the lush vegetation then wind our way through the dirt and cobblestone streets of Sayulita to find the Sayulita Trailer Park. Sayulita is a small beach side village chock full of artists, hippies, surfers, and general tourist from all over albeit most are Canadians again ! Shops full of artisans wares the ...
