Come on down...

March 11 to March 19

Once we moved into our new habitat, Randall made several calls on SKYPE inviting family to come visit. Using the laptop, he would give a tour while on SKYPE encouraging them to come and visit us. First takers, Brain and Shelly Lesher, booked a flight and left within 24 hours! And, just 5 days after our arrival to our new casa, we had visitors! Randall quite persistant! It was great to have Brian and Shelly here. We discovered new restaurants, beaches, golds gym, Cost Co and other things together.

While they were visiting, Randi had some orthodontist work done. Unfortunately she didn't feel like going out to dinner with us this one evening... :(

They have those cool authentic black dishes(forget the Mexican name?) to serve food, like the ones at El Sol, our favorite Mexican restaurant in Harrisburg

The coolest beach we visited was in Sayulita; which is about 45 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta marina area. It's not in the bay, so there is surfing which attracts a younger crowd and was entertaining to watch. Palapas restaurants line the beach with umbrella's and chairs for rent. All kinds of vendors selling some cool things.

Randi's lunch was shrimp on a stick...um mm!

The guys had a hard time sitting still on the beach of course, so they went for a long, long walk. We heard people around us laughing and as we looked up we discovered these JUNGLE men standing over us...

They met some locals who told them that this black sand had magnetite in it.

"If you rub some on, it's good for you!"

So they did. All over....

One afternoon we walked to a real "locals only" kind of a beach near our area just a little north of the airport. We were entertained with a little musica...

Just kicking back and enjoying the scenery...

Brain and Shelly did this several years ago here in Puerto Vallarta. They thought they'd try and do it again .... Same suit for Shelly too!

Wonderful time! So glad they dropped their busy(? not really) schedules and took time to check out this paradise again.
