Life's a Beach

We have spent a lot of time on the beach and in the ocean during the last week. The cool weather of the previous week was replaced by sunny hot weather, ideal for beaching it. Jeff arranged for a week long surf board rental with the option to also use a paddle board. Jeff shared the board with the rest of us and I rented  an additional paddle board from time to time. With these  boards and the boogies boards we already had, allowed for lots of surf play.  Even the surf cooperated. For the most part, the waves were a good size for the kids and my level of surfing incompetence.

Everybody has been having lots of fun and we are all pretty tired by the end of the day.  Most of our main meals have been eaten at the house. Twice now we have hired the staff to prepare us a dinner. Both have been very good and in both cases there was enough food for two dinners.  These meals are reasonably priced and are a great option for a large group, especially with kids.  Much better than trying to go to a restaurant.

Here are a couple of pictures of our accommodations. The first was taken at Villas Sayulita, where Linda and I are staying. The next photo was taken in the house Jamie and the family rented near the north end on the beach.

 Sunsets are only visible in Sayulita from the north end of the main beach or by walking around the south point to the next beach. One evening we walk down to the beach after dinner to catch the last rays of the day.

Jamie and Family are leaving Sayulita on Saturday. They are flying back to Canada on a variety of flights.  Linda and I are planning to leave Sayulita early next week. We are still waiting for our Mexican visas to be processed. We were hoping that they would be ready this week but no news yet.

We are looking forward to making our way north in the old Van....
