Jan. 18/09 Puerto Vallarta

This is what a coconut looks like when it comes from the tree. A large husk and the hairy coconut is inside it. that's what we pry open or ask a guy with a machete to open it for us and we drink the cold cocowater inside it and eat the white cocomeat. Very tasty!
The croc. was sunbathing, it was a big one. We did not feel so comfy camping next to the crocs even though there was a little fence along their pond...so we ended up camping in someone's backyard - the RV place that was still open (the others being closed or non-existent) charged $44 USD/nite and we're not into that. Also a lot of mosquitos and no-seeums.
Now we are in Puerto Vallarta at a little old hotel in the old part of town. Good deal, pool, kitchen, one block from the beach and walking distance to downtown and the large walkway along the beach called the malecon. Pretty good internet connection here so we'll be mailing people from here.
