Week 2 - Mexico - 1-20-08






Hola from Mexico~
what a wonderful week - words can't really explain the beauty of Mexico. Cactus growing right next to the sand at the beach - totally amazing. I think our favorite ports have been Cabo San Lucas and Puerto Vallarta. In Cabo we took the bus again - this time was more relaxing since we knew where we were going - met a cool couple from L.A. on the bus and chatted with them. A local man got on at one stop played his guitar and sang a lovely song while we cruised along the highway - then he asked for tips - we gave him some pesos and he gave us a bible verse book mark - his guitar was an old nylon string but it sounded pretty good and was in tune.
we went to the same destination 'the coral baja'- had a great vegetarian lunch that consisted of absolutely no vegetables what so ever. then a nice walk on the beach - there were only a few people at the beach but the sun was pouring down and it was magic. we wrote birthday greetings in the sand to each other.

In Puerto Vallarta we walked to a little outdoor bar and had guacamole & chips with a Corona beer. Then we walked to the beach, watched the waves and the sunset. There were many vendors trying to sell us things - I did buy a grain of rice with my brothers name on it - how can someone be so dexterous as to actually write a name on a grain of rice? we sat on the sand until the sun was an orange ball sinking in the the ocean - then we leisurely walked back to our ship along the sand - we met a sweet young couple from Mexico City who took a photo of us together as the sun went down. Most all of the people we have encountered in Mexico have been so gracious and polite to us.
