Beep Boop Bop Beep: Mexico trip day 3

Nuevo Vallarta

This morning we slept in until around 8:30…which in LA time is actually 6:30am. We’re already accustomed to the time change I guess. Deanna went to 9am yoga and after that we went to breakfast. Steven ordered the omelet with everything and Deanna ordered something similar to huevos rancheros. Both were very delicious.

11am and it was time for Steven’s deep tissue massage. Along with our All-Inclusive resort package, our deal comes with $50 resort credit per day so a $70 one-hour massage becomes $20. Very sweet deal! Deanna’s massage is scheduled for tomorrow at 10am.

Soon after Steven’s massage we left for the beach. The resort is part of a group of resorts that is in this well-manicured mini city so not all of the resorts are right on the beach. Our resort is maybe half a mile from the beach…not far at all but we’re too fancy now to walk all the way there.

The beach club is great. We get the same free service but this time they serve us under our own island style type canopies.

The shallow water went on for what felt like miles. The waves were calm and it was so much fun to play in. The sand is also silky soft.

At one point, Steven dove into the water and grabbed a bunch of sand to see what he could find and in his first attempt found a live sand dollar! He threw it back though. We didn’t want to kill it. We saw some other ocean life. Several sand dollars and at one point fish were jumping into the air out of the water not too far away. These fish clearly wanted to jump in our mouths but we’d have to wait for dinner back at the resort to fulfill their wish.

There were people hawking their wares up and down the beach. Hatman was our fave.

Rockin' the 'stache hard

We got picked up and on the drive back to the resort noticed an odd cage like structure at the entrance to the driveway. At first it seemed odd to be enclosing a couple of palm trees but as we panned down we discovered a couple of jaguars lounging on the grass. Jaguars! What? Why are there jaguars? This isn’t part of a zoo or anything and it’s a ¼ mile from the hotel itself. Maybe they’re mascots? The worst part is we must have walked right past their cage yesterday after the bus dropped us off and we didn't even notice those beasts! We could have been eaten. No pics of the kitties yet. We'll work on that today.

Post jaguar discovery it was back to the room to lounge then over to the bar, where we were the only patrons, for a couple pre-dinner drinks. This is truly the off season. We haven't seen more than 5 other groups at any one time.

Then it was off to dinner. Steven got some chicken curry action though the curry seemed more likes salsa. Deanna got mahi mahi and ….. We were too stuffed for dessert but at our waiter's insistence we got them to go. Life is tough.

Then back to the room, more Doctor Who, and sleeps.
