Temple of the Sun, the largest pyramid at Teotihuacán |
March 10th we ran off to Mexico for three weeks -- Puerto Vallarta with the fam for a week, then up to Sayulita, a little surfing village for another week, and finally a week in Mexico City.
PUERTO VALLARTA
The Mayan Palace was a nice place on the beach |

Gus was able to join us also. |
Even the restroom entries are fancy |
Lots of beach time, pool time, nice dinners including a splendid meal with Amy's local friend Violet at upscale La Leche :
Only later did we discover that this restaurant was the scene of a kidnapping in August of 2016; the son of infamous narco El Chapo, Jesus Alfredo Guzman Salazar, was abducted along with five others by heavily armed members of a competing drug cartel. They were all released a week later. Nothing personal, just business.
Now imagine this -- as much as Catie and Sophie love to swim, they chose not to jump in here at the nearby marina.

Yes, that is a salt water cocodrillo, crocodile |
They all got plenty of water sport time on our excursion out to the Marietas Islands.
Snorkeling and then kayaking.
And on the way back to PV a pod of humpback whales kept us company.
It was a great week of family fun, goofiness, and Happy Hours.
And relaxation....
And a fun dinner at Mikado to finish off the week. Check those sunburns.

Nothing wrong with Japanese food when in Mexico, right? |
