We've been so busy over the last three days that I need a HOLIDAY!!
Saturday we did the usual, long walk, beach time out to dinner etc. Sunday we started out the same way but it was really windy on the beach so I had a lot of trouble keeping the umbrella up so we decided to leave and go to the pool instead. On the way home we saw Robin and Serge sitting in Steve's Sportsbar, literally around the corner so our plans were changed almost immediately. We ran home, showered off the salt and sand and went back over. It's another very fun place and Sunday it was very loud as they had two football games playing simultaneously and different people were following different games. NOISY! A little while after we arrived Danny (aka Neil Young) walked in and convinced us all to go to Cuertes & Cuertes on the beach to watch the sunset. We had planned to go to the Malecon Sunday night but one of the amazing things about Puerto Vallarta is that plans seem to change so much it's hardly worth making them!
Robin and Serge then talked us and Heather- another girl we've met (poor thing in on the plane home to Houston right this minute) to go on a canopy zip line tour on Monday. I still cannot believe that Gail even entertained the idea but she did! Serge picked us up first thing yesterday and off we went. The place was out past Mismaloya where we stayed last January. It is a very very lush jungle and is very green and beautiful. The people in the town all got together to build this canopy of nine wires across the canyon. They start out tame- not so long or high but they get increasingly scary. Gail dug her feet in and said "No way, I'll just wait for you guys" but it was 90 minutes so we were able to get her to agree to do the first one and see how she felt. We had to pour two Coronas in her first but it worked! Now she is so proud of herself! The pictures are not great because we are so high up and far away from the landing/take off spots but there is one of each of us to prove we did it!!
Afterwards we went to the zoo. I hate zoos but didn't want to be a party pooper. Heather really wanted to go especially as they had two 22 day old Bengal Tigers that they let you hold if you pay extra. She did and was so thrilled it made if fun for all of us.
The day ended back at Robin and Serge's place where Serge cooked us a fabulous Mexican meal using his mother's recipes. His mom used to own and run a Mexican restaurant in Los Angeles.
