PART ONE
Our morning walk Saturday to the reef.
It was a gorgeous, fun weekend. So, before anyone freaks out why it wasn’t… we’re home safely, but ran into a couple of snafus — so it wasn’t a perfect paradise after all. I’m saving that for tomorrow in PART TWO. Today, I’m showing you photos of paradise.
The weather was perfect. I spent more time in the Sea of Cortez this trip, swimming, floating on my back and loving every moment thanks to Buff (our DIL.) I was talking to my daughter on the phone who spends time with Buff in the Bay Area. They are beach buddies who swim, body surf and boogie board. Buff took up surfing during the last year or two. (If you’re wondering where our son was on this trip, he wasn’t there due to a passport delay.)
“You’re not going to get Buff out of the ocean,” my daughter told me.
Well, we figured out how to get her out of the water….more tomorrow.
More photos:

One of the statues at the Old Port:
There is large statue of a fisherman and a shrimp that was dedicated in 2003 and is known as “El Camaronero.”

What excitement have you had on a vacation that you didn’t expect? What’s your idea of paradise on vacation?
Beautiful! It look like you all had a great time!
We really did love the time with our daughter in law. We had some great walks, talks and swims.
Oooh the water looks so inviting! Glad you all had a wonderful time, in spite of whatever problems came up. Eager to hear. Sorry about your son’s passport delay.
We were after our son to get his passport renewed since January. So, he finally did it when he realized he was being left behind! 😅
😄
Oh wow – that is stunning, Elizabeth. Although I’m holding my breath for the next part of the story. I’m so grateful that you prefaced this with the news you are home safe and sound!
I have dear friends who worry every time we go to Mexico. So, I had to include the disclaimer!
What a beautiful place, really a paradise!
It’s a close drive, great prices, a warm ocean. Plus you really feel like you’re in a different country — because it’s Mexico.
We’ve been on vacation twice when we experienced earthquakes
Wow! Where at?
Once in LA and once in Athens
I can see LA. I didn’t know Athens had earthquakes. We had a bunch of earthquakes in San Diego on vacation.
Ugh
It was scary being in a hotel on an upper floor. But I’m pretty sure we would have felt the earthquakes at home, too.
Stunning is a great word. Wow.
It is so gorgeous there. My husband and I wonder if we’d get bored there after an extended amount of time. There’s a lot of ex-Pats. They seem to be in real estate.
Yes, I always wonder about that visiting a beautiful spot … if it would get old after a while. Glad it was fun
Our first trip we were ready to be ex-pats. Now our mission is to visit every several months. Our initial enthusiasm is waning. Great place to visit…
Beautiful pics, looks like a fabulous vacation, but I’m so curious about the “until it wasn’t…” Hugs, C
Read on and you’ll find out! It was a bonding vacation with our daughter-in-law.
