Blame it on Mexico!

Well, we made it back from Mexico all in one piece. We had a great time and it was an excellent way to disconnect from everything here at home and just chill out. We arrived Friday around noon and within a few hours I had managed to burn myself to a crisp. We spent the first day just hanging out on the beach and around the resort. The next day we spent most of the day on the beach, the boys went parasailing and then the four of us decided to ride the water banana which proved to be lots of fun however I came away with a small injury when the guys decided to dump us and Blakes elbow met my hip bone. That evening we went on a tour called Rhythms of the Night which was amazing. After a 1.5 hr boat ride(which was not so amazing) we arrived on a beach totally lit with candles and torches. We watched a Indian Wedding ritual show with great dancers and fire twirlers. We then had a candle lit dinner on the beach. We really enjoyed it, but didn't really enjoy the hour long boat ride back. We arrived back at our resort after midnight totally exhausted. Early the next morning we set off on another adventure. This time we were going to do the canopy tour so, after an hour truck ride through the ghetto of Puerto Vallarta we arrived in the Sierra Madre mountains and spent the next few hours doing zip lines from tree to tree. After returning from the canopy tour we spent the rest of the afternoon on the beach. Monday morning we checked out of the resort and headed to the market to do some shopping. We had great food and managed to buy some pretty neat stuff for "almost free". Of course as luck would have it our camera broke on Friday. So, I am waiting to have pictures of the trip sent to us. We did however purchase some photos from the canopy tour and they can be viewed at http://biddickpv.shutterfly.com. I will continue to add other photos when I get them!!!
