It was so much fun. We went snorkeling, jumped off a 30 ft rock into the water (I dove in the second time. Bad idea. I landed on my back! So embarrassing and it hurt!), found a cave, and went parasailing!
The water was warm, the fish were beautiful, the coral was sharp (I hit my heel on some and had a large wound that didn’t heal for weeks and is still tender 2 months later!), and the sand was flesh burningly hot.
One of our favorite stops.
Our second stop was Mazatlan.
We were so badly burnt from the day before in Cabo that this stop was actually miserable. We took an air conditioned tour of the city. It was cool, but we had heat exhaustion so we couldn’t fully appreciate this city. The guide dropped us off at a Cathedral (with a Star of David on it because the Jews funded the building because the Mexican Catholics couldn’t afford it.) and we sat in the smoldering, humid church for about 5 minutes, briskly walked around the grounds, and went in the mall where it was air conditioned to find somewhere to sit.
We found our guide watching the America vs. Mexico Soccer game. We sat with him and 35 other Mexicans, as you can guess we were the only ones cheering for America. It was scary when we scored first. I cheered and then looked around at all the angry faces glaring me down. Oops.
Not our favorite stop.
Our last stop was Puerto Vallarta!
This was so much fun! First we drove up to this cute little ranch in the Sierra Madres.
They gave us breakfast, and then we went on a horseback ride up to a waterfall!
We crossed these old, rickety bridges that I thought might break and we would fall to our doom. Luckily we made it.
After we rode our horses back to the ranch we went on the zip lines! 14 different platforms, some longer than others, some higher than others, some over water, some over rocks, and some through trees. We were with a man and his two kids. We had to watch the kids because our guide didn’t speak Spanish and the man threw up after like 5 of them. What a wimp.
After that we had lunch! So good! They served everyone fajitas, but only Matt and I got Chili Rellanos also! It was so cool. Now I’m hungry. I think I’ll make fajitas for dinner. Anyway, after lunch they put on some show where they served free tequila (heck yes! Oh wait, we didn’t drink that) and had a dancing horse.
Yes, I put it on here so everyone can enjoy.
If you actually watched that you’re a fool.
That was so much fun and our other favorite stop.
So, we thought all the fun was over now that we were off our boat. We were wrong. On our way home we stopped at Morrie and Michelle’s in Vegas for the night. They talked us into staying another night (not too hard) and we went to ….
Hoover DAM!! I had never been there so it was cool.
Well, we eventually made it back to our little apartment to start the boring lives that we now live.
