Our street aptly named the Street of Dreams. When we were here in 2006 we travelled down here with Bob and Marie. A lot of us were put on this street but Bob and Marie were located down on the main street. She thought it was dark and damp down where she was but they didn't seem to be able to move up here so Marie would come to visit http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Mexico/Nayarit/Rincon-de-Guayabitos/blog-345614.html Hi Everyone Here we are in LaPenita. It is very hot and humid. The humidity should subside in a few weeks they say and I remember it from last time. we had a good trip down here. We left home Oct 13th drove the first day to a nice campground on the Columbia River. Very breezy. I guess thats why it is the Windsurfing capital of the world or Washington anyway. We drove down through the Ren http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Mexico/Nayarit/Rincon-de-Guayabitos/blog-341678.html Larry and I are on the road again starting about October 13 2008. Hoping to have a big family Thanksgiving Day dinner and then the next day head out with our final destination of LaPenita Mexico. We will be stopping along the way to meet up with lots of friends we have acquired in our travels. We meet up with 2 other couples in Arizona and will travel as a group down to LaPenita. The park op http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Mexico/Nayarit/Rincon-de-Guayabitos/blog-320611.html Here are the pictures from our trip to Mexico where we stayed in Sayulita about one hour north of Puerto Vallarta. Christophe and Tara http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Mexico/Nayarit/Sayulita/blog-317783.html So as most of you know I'm in Mexico for about a month helping out a missionary family in Tepic. Emily Cormier who is from Sussex originally but studying sciences in Halifax is also here to help out. Neither of us knew of each other's plans to come but both planned for almost identical dates. She is staying 10 days longer and arrived just a bit before me. So far both of us have been helping the c http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Mexico/Nayarit/Tepic/blog-275092.html Wow i just made the map that accompanies this blog entry 102.8km as the vulcher fly's...doesn't seem far in theory. Therefore we left PV midmorning following the advice of the bus company which one would assume to be creditable even though it varied from the other advice we had received from other sources. Bus stops rarely exist here put your hand up and a bus will stop for you anywhere which http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Mexico/Nayarit/blog-269331.html Our days consist mainly of walking the beach wandering around town for supplies and snacks spending lots of time at our favourite eating places playing afternoon volleyball hanging around the pool and making small trips to all the other little beach towns close by. The other Nayarit beach places besides Lo de Marcos are San Francisco San Pancho Rincon de Guayabitos La Penita Sayulita an http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Mexico/Nayarit/Lo-de-Marcos/blog-268816.html We're still in Lo de Marcos just enjoying a relaxing time. http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Mexico/Nayarit/Lo-de-Marcos/blog-268815.html Rocking out on duel keyboards the solo mariachi sways his knee back and forth to keep the beat as he sings. The sound of festive Latin music fills the air conditioned cabin as we steadily cross the sea of Cortez from La Paz to Topolobampo.

Surfing is absolutely AMAZING. Drove all morning and all afternoon to Sayulita norht of Puerta Vallarta. Somehow I screwed up the functions on this keyboard such that I cannot access the good punctuation keys so that is why my punctuation is lacking. We arrived here just before sunset and found a lovely camping place.

Tomorrow I am off to Florida for a few days before heading home...it has been a great adventure on this continent and I would recommend it to any and all of you.I have been in this area for a week enjoying the hospitality of friends from Calgary and my brother and sister in law. The walks on th http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Mexico/Nayarit/Rincon-de-Guayabitos/blog-246973.html Things are winding down in Mexico. The weather has been hot and sunny everyday for the last 2 weeks. Spectacular What a place. We have been wining and dining around Mexico for 3 weeks now and know that when we get to NZ it ends. It is so cheap to eat here we have become very spoiled. Chicken quesadillos with salsa and guacamole is about 3.50. 10 minute taxi ride is 2.50.

Now there are photos but they all say Jan 13th but they are not. They are all in the last 10 days or so. Better next time. Nancy http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Mexico/Nayarit/Rincon-de-Guayabitos/blog-239153.html The adventure has begun. We left home early early on Jan 13th. Clayton is our faithful chauffer but of course he is probably counting days in anticipation of having the whole house to himself Glad to see the tail end of us. We did the 4 hour layover in Dallas which actually was OK. It is an amazing airport. It is American Airlines hub and is huge with AA. There are 5 huge terminals each http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Mexico/Nayarit/Rincon-de-Guayabitos/blog-239095.html Matt and I drove through Arizona to the Nayarit beach area of Mexico where Lana and Erika joined us. Lana flew to Puerto Vallarta and Erika came from Guadalajara where she is studying. Other than a few days spent with Erika in Guadalajara Lana and I are relaxing at our favourite spot Villas Tlaquepaque Lo de Marcos a quiet little beach town about an hour north of Puerto Vallarta. Everything is http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Mexico/Nayarit/Lo-de-Marcos/blog-234225.html We stayed at a BB Casa Obelisco. Big home and only 4 guest suites. Owners are very accomdating and helpful. We just wanted to chill out and relax so there isn't much to report. We were at the beach or the pool every day. Compared to Sayulita which is 3 miles south there are NO VENDORS on the beach. If you want to go to town it's about 34 mile away. We didn't rent a car most guests do. http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Mexico/Nayarit/blog-233873.html Wow...I had forgotten how much I enjoy walking on a beach. The first morning I was here I set out with a pedometer on my waist band and was amazed to read I had walked 6000 steps on my morning constitutional . The tide was out and the fishermen were in with their catch so there were many people around . It is the end of the school holiday although there are a lot of people around I understand th http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Mexico/Nayarit/Rincon-de-Guayabitos/blog-233270.html Here it is December 21st 2007. We had Evan's 27th Birthday Party at Burger Heaven last night. 33 people attend and all seemed to have a good time. We are counting down the days until we leave by events. The BD was the first of many events until we go. I am going to attempt this travel blog along the way Our itinerary is Jan 13 Feb 4th Rincon de Guayabitos 60 kms north of Puerto Vallarta http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Mexico/Nayarit/Rincon-de-Guayabitos/blog-229320.html We made our first of many border cossings fearing the worst the guide books suggest complications in particular if you have to import vehicles which we have to for all the countries on route. Our initial observations was the sudden change from the orderly systems of the U.S. to the hustle and bustle of Mexico. Cars and people weaving about horns blaring etc... .
