One Week Ago (Saturday February 13th)

We went to a beach called "Playa de los Muertos" which is Beach of the Dead. There are a bunch of cemeteries around which is where the name comes from. The beach is crazy small, maybe 70 yards wide with rocks on either side and waves were HUGE. Scott and I were jumping them and few waves were just too big to jump over otherwise we'd be swept away. So instead we'd go under and come up when they passed. We also had fun climbing on the rocks on either side of the beach. The girls and I made it to the top and it was just so relaxing sitting up there. We enjoyed seeing the crabs and crazy hermit shells that were living in between the rocks. .

We had brunch at a restaurant in Sayulita called Rollie's and it's owned by a guy from California who closes his restaurant from May to September and drives down here to spend the Winters working in his restaurant. He really is a great owner, walks around and talks to the customers. The kids there draw pictures while eating and whenever a child finishes their picture, he holds it up and announces to the rest of the restaurant that there is a budding artist in the room. The outgoing kids love it (Brynn), the shy kids don't (Callie).

Then it was just resting and reading time until the festival... I love spending time on the second floor in the "palapa", and that's where I spent all my time reading. It's so gorgeous.

We went to the festival in the plaza. It was a lot of fun, but if you weren't careful, the girls would take all your money. There were rings to toss, trampolines to jump on, rides to ride, and they all cost 10 or 15 pesos. I gave in a few times, I had to be a good uncle, they were too adorable. Apparently those parties go for a long time with a disco and everything, we ended up heading out at 9:30.

Pictures on the blog here are soon to come!
