Mexico trip - Day 6

Dad rented us a car, and we took a trip to Sayulita, a cute little town north of Bucerias. It's a surfer attraction spot, the beach gets good waves.
This was on the drive up.

Haha, this is a "look, a camera" face.

We had lunch in Sayulita, and our waiter was from Oregon! He got really chatty when he learned we were too, lol. He said he was staying with his grandparents, who had a house there.

We made lots of doggy friends in Mexico, but this was my favorite. Her name was Azteca, apparenty. I didn't notice that until I saw this photo later.


Crazy-crowded beach! We didn't spend much time there.





Piñatas!

A fancy little square at the center of town.

I loved this little window. =)

Diggin' the hair, dude.

Some guys playing drums in the street.

I LOVE all the colors there. Everything is vibrant!

Taken on the drive back to Bucerias.

A Mexican cemetery! Fancyyyyyy.

Mexico trip - Day 5

We just spent this day hanging around Bucerias. I took some photos of some of the gorgeous hibiscus flowers in the yard.




A little Anole trying to hide on a bush. And it worked. Everytime he moved, it took me a while to find him again. I also saw a couple of these little guys puffing out their orange-colored throats, but I never caught it on camera. =( Pretty awesome though.

Bougainvillea! They are EVERYWHERE, and I LOVE them!

Part of the market in Bucerias. Sophie and I tried our hand at bargaining. We were almost starting to get the hang of it, but it was still uncomfortable to get used to.

Iiiiity bity gecko, who I found on the kitchen counter.

Iguanas everywhere!
This is probably my favorite picture of Sophie and me in the water. XP Right before the CRASH.
Sophie lined up some of the shells we collected.

We liked this guy's shirt.

Videos of the day:

my fabulous day in pictures

A picture's worth a thousand words, right? Well I definitely don't have much talent for telling stories through talk, but here's the story of my fabulous day:

I'm alive!

Oh my gosh it's been forever since I wrote here! I was trying to finish posting about the trip to Mexico, but I was getting bored of that. Posting lots of pictures at once takes a long time on here, so... I'll finish that later. ;)

I feel like doing an image meme/quiz! Those are always fun, and take way too much time.

Mexico trip - Day 4

Day 4 -

We ventured into downtown Pto. Vallarta for the first time.

Check out the hill we had to climb each time we took the bus from our house. *pant*

After getting off the bus too early(with no help from the bus driver), we had a long walk before we got to Puerto Vallarta's Malecón, which is what they call the long boardwalk area along the ocean, where all the cool statues are. We also walked past one of those human statue dudes(always awesome. I remember seeing quite a few of them in San Francisco), and some amazing sand sculptures.

Bubba Gump!! I so would have wanted to go there if it wasn't all shrimp.

The trees in the little square were filled with pigeons. Pretty cool lookin.

See the guy with the guitar? He hopped aboard a bus we were on, and started playing and singing(quite loudly), to the americans on the bus. It was all in spanish of course, so I didn't understand most of it. It was so hot that day too, and the bus was packed, so as amusing as it was, we were glad when we reached the bus stop.

After all that excitement, we had an early dinner at the house, and went to Sandrina's for dessert. And guess what? We were sung to AGAIN! but this time it was nicer, it was by two guys, and we got to choose between a "love song" and a "happy song", hehehe. ^_^

We chose a "happy song."

Mexico trip - Day 3

DAY 3 -

Day three was taken up by a grand adventure to Walmart.(whoopee)
Walmart sucks.

The buses are exciting though! I'll never again be thrilled by roller coasters.

Sophie got a picture of the huge cruise ship that was in the marina that day.
