Viva Mexico!

Here's some pics of my new boyfriend. He's very affectionate and quite a good dancer! Didn't catch his name, though. But seriously, if you're ever able to do one of these "Dolphin Encounter" type programs, do it! It's so cool! The one we did was through Vallarta Adventures in Nueva Vallarta. They have several different programs: the one I did where you get to pet the dolphins, another for kids, and one where you can actually swim with them. I'm definitely doing the swimming one next time.

Thursday afternoon some friends of the BIL who are living on their boat in Nueva Vallarta took us out for sail. We headed down the bay to Los Arcos, some small rock formations that have caves and tunnels you can kayak through. Doug, Sam and BIL went off kayaking, and I jumped in for a swim. I put on a mask and looked in the water, and was delighted to find myself swimming in the middle of a school of hundreds of these (King Angel Fish):

It was really amazing.

Unfortunately, the in-laws weren't able to make it as FIL got sick. So we were mostly on our own with Sam, which isn't exactly the most relaxing scenario. We did have fun, but we're glad to be home, even if there is a foot-high stack of mail to wade through and about three more loads of laundry queued up.
