Tanya is HERE!!!!! Tanya came to visit for 10 days filled with girly fun! I MISS YOU TANZ!!!!

Tanya, Kim and I basking in the sun (what I do best) on the beach in Mismaloya...

Tanya.....SO BRAVE! Here she is posing with the parrot!

Kristi and me!!!! Welcome back to PV Kristi! Wish you coulda stayed!

Our back yard to our rental.


Me in front of our bungalow...

Palapa Joe's, Manzinilla.....home base for the adventure down the coast.

There was an alligator protection habitat near the beach were we stayed. The alligators were really really huge and the fence between us and them was really really....... thin!

The beach we kayaked to fromour beach. We were told it was a nice Kayakride away.....try 5 miles! It was a great day to be out on the water though and the scenery was well worth the sore muscles! We arrived on the deserted beach only to find out that it was the beach were El Tamarindo Golf Course and Resort are located. It is supposedly one of the best golf courses in the world. Apparently it costs about 600 US per night to stay and 300-400 for a round of golf.....wish that were in pesos!

Would you believe me if I told you this was our rental???? Okay so we actually had something called a Verna.... we aren't really sure if it was a Hyundai or Dodge....When in Mexico...

La Manzinilla from up in the mountains.

La Manzinilla beach from the water....

The beach early in the morning in La Manzinilla.....before the rush of Guadalajarans arrive for their day trip.

This is the campground onLa Manzinilla beach. . . Can we say 5 star accomodations?! We couldn't believe the things people camped in..... can you say 4 sheets and 4 poles with an amazing sunroof .... who says that can't be a tent?! Yes.... in Mexico, anything goes!

Surfing in Barra De Navidad.....amazing!

Look closely.....YEP that's ME! Up Up and AWAY!!! whooohoooo
Surfing in Barra de Navidad was a highlight of the Coastal adventure!
(You can always zoom if you can't see me!)

The Volcano in Colima....apparently the biggest one in North and Central America. We drove up the scariest little grid road trying to get to it.....this is as close as we got!!!! It was amazing watching it let out little puffs of smoke....we thought it was errupting! Haha
