Puerto Vallarta was just amazing. It was the first week-long trip Adam and I have taken just us two since our honeymoon and it was so nice being just us two. He is still the one....
We spent most of our time at the pool or the beach, reading books and playing in the water (I finished four books!). It was very hot, and the rainy season too (don't worry, it was just like Colorado, with storms in the evening but sun all day), so most of the pictures in the slideshow below are shiny-skined and poofy-haired, but hey, I am not complaining! Everyone thought we were honeymooners, and when we told them we were celebrating our tenth anniversary they wouldn't believe us until we proved our ages! The locals loved that we had four boys, we had comments ranging from "Perfect! Like a big Mexican family!" to "Mucho cuchi cuchi!" That second one was always from the men. No surprise there.
We tried to get off the beach a few times. We walked to the local mall and caught "El Caballero De La Noche" or "The Dark Night" to all the gringos out there ;). We took a couple of scary, crazy bus rides into town for dinner, and a walk on the Malecon (the boardwalk) to look at all the beautiful and strange works of art along the downtown coastline. We cruised to Las Caletas, a beach unaccessable by land, for an artistic and dramatic show, and delicious dinner. And our favorite, we took a tour into the lush jungle and not only flew over and through the tree canopy on ziplines, but also repelled down waterfalls (I repelled down a WATERFALL IN MEXICO!), rode the mulas, and risked our necks in these giant ATV's that had supershocks and felt like rollercoasters driving on the cobblestone, washed-out streets. We loved every minute of that day. It was awesome! Who am I kidding? We loved every minute of every day!
Really, we just enjoyed the beauty of the location (Ah! The sunsets!) and the joy of each other's company. It was hard to leave. The last morning there we took two walks on the beach before heading to the airport. But we missed our boys and were excited to see them. It was a trip we will cherish, as we have cherished these past 10 years.
Adam put together the slideshow below, it is much smoother on our computer. So sorry for the jerky pictures, but you get the idea....
