"White out", but not from snow.


Paradise sometimes get's lost in the rain clouds but not usually in the "dry season". From about November until mid June is the time considered to be the dry season and the time of year when Puerto Vallarta comes to life. The snow birds arrive for a 6 month jaunt and vacationers come and go. Unfortunately mother nature was confused leaving some with little to see and do for 4 days during the "dry season". This view over looks old town Puerto Vallarta where everything is "happening" only here it is like a "white out".
It however made for good nesting time indoors and gave enlighten appreciation of our typical days perspective.

Danger on Conchas Chinas Beach

Normally, relatively tranquil waters never breach the rocks on Conchas Chinas beach in Puerto Vallarta. Most days one can find fisherman throwing hand lines, kids digging for crustaceans, and curious visitors lallygagging around the rocks below.


However, one day the waves were enormous and the life guards were trying to keep everyone out of the water let alone climb on the rocks. This poor soul must have missed the communication and obvious warning signs of eminent danger!

One extremely lucky man had up to 4 life guards venture to his rescue.


The outcome was good news for one and all!
