Mexico, Sayulita and Puerto Vallerta

In order to capture your interest, and make this more interesting for me, I'm going to review our trip in sections. With that said, here is what the trip looked like.
Day 1-Puerto Vallerta
Day 2-3 - Sayulita
Day 4-5 - San Pancho
Day 6- Travel to/San Blas
Day 7 - San Blas
Day 8 - Travel to/Puerto Vallerta
Day 9 -Puerto Vallerta
Day 10-11 - Sayulita




Our hotel the first night, in Puerto Vallerta, was an art-gallery as well. We woke up to a flooded tile floor from an overflowing air conditioner. The first room-flood of three for the trip






Villa de Amor, our villa, with a private plunge pool and amazing view...



Our living area and kitchen. This area was flooded by a huge storm our first night here (room flood number 2). The lightning and thunder knocked out the power and some water in the town, and was deafening and scary. We felt lucky to witness such a powerfull tropical storm!

Breakfast at Villa de Amor. While in Sayulita, we had some amazing Mexican food, including some mole (a Mexican cocao based sauce) that was amazing!



The sunset view from our balcony..



Our balcony overlooking the ocean...notice the amazing swell coming in...

The villa that we stayed in in Sayulita was by far the nicest place we have ever stayed in! The view was spectacular, overlooking the ocean with jungle flowers and plants everwhere. Marble and tile floors, air conditioned and open-air, yes, they pulled that off. It was HOT! The humidity is around 90 percent and it rains almost every night. We happened to be there for an amazing swell, and we got some great waves. This break doesn't get this good that often, so we really lucked out and had head-overhead high surf the whole time we were there, surfing till we were too exhausted or sunburned. Oh yea, the water was about 80 degrees... much better than the central coast!

We stayed in Villa de Amor at the end of the trip and enjoyed Sayulita again the last day. Stay tuned for the rest of our trip! (PS If R. sounds annoyed it's because he really wanted to document the amazing surf.;)
