This is actually a picture from a bus ride from Puerto Vallarta to Punta Mita. The little boy was looking at Ralph's camera and his mother told Ralph it was ok to take his picture. So, Ralph snapped this shot and showed the boy his photo from the camera. He and his brother were amazed. They and their mother than laughed and laughed. Kids are the same everywhere!
We checked out of Paradise Village on 12/15 and sailed to Yelapa arriving in the afternoon. Yelapa is a gorgeous little bay. We saw a large pod of whales on the way in. Our cruising guide said the anchorage was marginal (rolly) as it gets lots of winds and swells. We were met by Ricardo as we entered the bay. He owns a couple of mooring buoys so we agreed to a special price for two nights and attached ourselves with his assistance. At least as we rolled around all night, we knew we would not be going anywhere. Ricardo also provided panga taxi service to his customers so the next day we went into town and walked beyond it to the waterfall. We saw lots of colorful butterflies, hummingbirds and a dog fishing in the surf. The town has narrow streets. It is colorful and has lots of plants and trees. Yelapa is stop for tour boats operating out of Puerto Vallarta so when the tour boats come in, the beach and town are inundated with tourists. It then gets pretty quiet and very laid back til the next tour. We were entertained by more whales at sunset.

We spent a day at Yelapa when we were in Puerto Vallarta in March of 2000. It really was a beautiful spot. I remember that the kids took a horseback tour to the falls. The water was as blue as blue could be. We were entertained by many dolphins on our boat tour from PV. Some day we will see more beautiful parts of this world. In the meantime I will continue to enjoy your narration and photos.

With all the crappy weather we are having here in WA I would rather be in your shoes. Warm weather would feel really great about now.
I have been to Yelapa, in 1990, and it was wonderful. Especially the pie lady who sold pies on the beach. Do they still do that? I enjoy your blog and the great pictures. Can't wait until the next installment.
Love,
