Mexico was amazing. When we bought a condo nearly two years in a moment of what can only be called madness, who would have thought it would turn out so well? Certainly not me!
It seemed like a good idea the time. It has always been on of my dreams to have a house on the beach. Preferably in the Malibu Colony. Since there is a slight (HUGE) chance that may not happen, we looked at other possibilities. An opportunity presented itself south of Puerta Vallarta near Barra De Navidad. Never heard of it? Me neither but did that stop me? Of course not! We sent a cheque and decided to take a chance. Eighteen months later we figured it was high time to see if we had made a huge mistake or a wise choice. Luckily it was the latter.

From our bedroom we could hear the waves crashing. What a wonderful sound to fall asleep to. In the morning when we were on our patio having coffee all is very peaceful. As the sun rises higher people come out to the pool and the beach. Lovely, friendly people. We could not have chosen a nicer group if we tried!! Yoga first thing in the morning on the sand was new for me but what a great experience. One day our teacher did not show up but did that stop us? Not at all. The six women out there managed to put together a great class. We took turns leading and if you have never done a sun salutation with the sun on your face I suggest you give it a try.
The sunsets were spectacular nearly every night. The show really began when the sun dipped down into the sea and sky turned shades of pink and orange. As we would enjoy one more cocktail it was entertainment you could not beat!
At dinner on the last night that Gary was at Playa Grande with me we had a shrimp dinner that was truly memorable. Coming from the land of beef in Argentina we truly appreciate seafood and fish. If it swam, we ate it!
