Got a great last minute deal and decided to head south of the border for some sunshine.
 |
| View from our balcony in Playa Mita, about 35 miles south of Puerto Vallarta |
 |
| Looking south along the 5 mile beach |
 |
| Plovers and sandpipers |
 |
| The beach looking north where we walked many miles each morning... |
 |
| then coming back to swim and cool off |
 |
| A morning trip to Sayulita, about 20 miles north |
 |
| Sayulita beach - famous for great surfing |
 |
| With binoculars, taking one of our many very rewarding bird walks |
 |
| On a 9 mile beach walk (round trip) to pueblito Higuera Blanca... |
 |
| very rural and practically untouched by tourists.. |
 |
| and extremely friendly town folk who were pleased to see and talk with us. |
 |
| Genuine cobblestone streets |
 |
| Who knew a golf course like this would be full of tropical birds? |
 |
| A western kingbird |
 |
| Least grebes gliding across the water |
 |
| Trying to get a shot of a vermillion flycatcher just doesn't work with a cell phone camera. Oh well. |
We had a wonderful time, and would be happy to return someday. We identified twenty seven tropical bird species, so much fun.
