Sundays = Beach days for the Leshers


Austin is riding the waves with the boogie board.
Whole fish, shrimp or mahi mahi pieces are usually available on a stick at most beaches along with plenty of fresh fruit.
Wow, a Catana Catamaran almost identical to Duchesse we spotted at anchor off the beach near Punta Mita.  Fond memories were reminisced as I gazed at their home on the water wondering who they were and where they headed next.
Randall and Austin took a closer look at the Catana comparing theirs  to ours.

I designated Sunday's as a great day for the 4 of us to take road trips discovering the beaches of Puerto Vallarta.  There's so many why just see one or two?  Besides the fact that all beaches are not created equal.  Each one has beauty of it's own personality!  So, over the last 6 weeks we've been from one end of the bay to the other and in between.  Sunday in fact is party time at the beach for the locals making it even more intriguing to go kick back and watch everyone in action.

I'll just mention some favorites worth checking out if your headed this way someday:  
Sayulita(out of the bay a little north) - Surfing galore, lots of families, many palapa restaurants, a hippy sort of village 
Playa El Anclote(northern tip of bay) -a little bit of surfing, boats at anchor, food, nice sand
San Fransico(also nicknamed San Pancho by the locals, out of the bay and north of Sayulita)More subdued and pristine

You can get to them by bus!  Don't miss them if you come here!  It's better than "hotel alley" if you really want a taste of REAL flavor of Mexico!
