Well, it never rained. This afternoon in Sayulita it's clouding over again but it's pleasant, warm, a bit humid but a cool breeze from the ocean. Temperature hovers from 25 to 30+ day/night.
I never wrote about yesterday, a grand thing: we left Puerto Vallarta and stopped to let Megan swim with dolphins. She's pretty excited about it, her aunt had done it a little while back here in P.V. so it seemed like a great experience. She got a 45 min. encounter with a mom and daughter team, there were only 3 people including M. so she got lots of one-on-one with the dolphins. A bit touristy, all the posing for pics with the animals, we didn't buy any pictures (couldn't bring our own camera in) because they were $25 USD per photo!
But wow what a memory. We had a bit of trouble finding the place, driving around P.V. hotels and then Nuevo Vallarta - don't try to follow the signs, just ask people. And ask many people, you'll get conflicting info whether it's tourists or locals.
But we did find it, were too late for our scheduled time of 10 a.m. but she could go at noon. so we hung around for a while, watched iguanas and sea lions and heaps of birds, very neat.
Then on to where we are camping now, we have nice neighbours (Ryan is playing Bocci with some men right now - serious games here!). Stay away from their chihuahua though. it's nasty.
Dogs, there are dogs everywhere. Tourists bring dogs, wild dogs, locals have dogs, dogs on the beach, dogs in the street.
and cats! Gatos everywhere. Most are shy, they're here to trim the rodent population I'm sure.
We met a guy on the beach today who makes music with his family. A Bob Marley kinda guy, you know, that look. Super nice, let us listen to some of his cd's and I bought 2. Cathy, if you're following the blog - wait until you hear this! He also makes and plays flutes. We will try to visit his studio which is a little north of here.
The waves today are awesome. Ry and Earl went out twice, and the first time broke one boogieboard, the 2nd time got "in the washingmachine", the waves are huge and really pound you down. Some guys were out with little kayaks, and surfers are always out, great action. Earl took some video.

We love the pics of the croc and the iguana. Keep it coming. Robbie's keeping tabs on your journey too. It's fascinating!
