New Roof on the Nest

The Eagle’s Nest or  El Nido, is getting a new top.  A palm thatched hut on the ocean may be romantic, but it does have a down side… it doesn’t last forever,  We started seeing some wear this year and if you stayed there in the summer rains, you may have experienced a bit of [...]

Virgen de Guadalupe Festival en El Tuito

I promised to let you know if anything interesting happens, and something happened today. Chrissi took me to the Virgin of Guadalupe Festival in the Cabo Corrientes county seat, El Tuito. It’s about an hour’s drive south from Puerto Vallarta, up the mountain and into the jungle. Here there were very few tourists. The Americanos [...]

Yelapa dogs

Another pod of dolphins blessed us today in the cove. It was also a day of many Yelapa dogs, though I got no pictures. Yelapa dogs, in my experience, are a little different from other Mexican dogs I have encountered. They seem to be more friendly, and less wary of people. Maybe there is a [...]

An appreciation of Yelapa’s small views

I woke up at 5:30 Thursday morning feeling peaceful and rested. Went down to the kitchen and made salsa Mexicana while I was waiting for the coffee to brew. It’s so quiet at this hour. The ocean is calm this morning. Gentle waves often mean a beautiful, clear day. Coffee mug in hand, I waited [...]

Life inside a terrarium

At 2:00 am the torrential rain stopped suddenly, which startled me awake. The music of Yelapa changed from rain on the roof to waves breaking on the beach. It wasn’t hard to go back to sleep. Getting up early is a tradition for Chrissi and me in Yelapa. Sitting with our coffee and watching the sun come [...]

Rainy New Year’s Day trip to Yelapa

Tuesday night, January 1, 7:30 p.m. We awoke to steady rain. It absolutely never rains here in January! We managed to find heavy plastic bags, protected all the food from the moisture, and drove the 15 miles of very bad road to the village of Boca de Tomatlan, where the road ends. We hired our [...]
