Michael & Liz are Bloggable

Last Sunday we went over to Hillary's Dad's condo in Punta de Mita. It's a small town on a peninsula and her Dad has the sweetest condo. After spending a little time there, Liz says "we have a new retirement plan". Their condo is on the second floor with a sliding glass door that spans the entire back of the condo, where if you open it, the entire wall is gone for a view of the ocean. They had all custom furniture like a 15 foot long couch, and a 5 feet by 5 feet coffee table. That's an ENORMOUS coffee table, fit for a king! We hung out there and watched a little Olympics on Canadian TV and played in the pool and warmed up some tostadas. It was super relaxing.

We then went to the movie theater again to see if we could see Avatar in 3D in the Puerto Vallarta mall. This time we had the time right. I really didn't like the 3D version better than just a normal movie and for so many reasons. The glasses dim the movie so it's no longer bright and crisp the way it should be. The sides and corner of the movie are blurry because of the 3D, and when there is fast action, the 3D makes the images blurry. Also it's really tough to take almost 3 hours of 3D images. I had a slight headache at the end. It just felt like a distraction, cuz Avatar is such an awesome movie. I would probably chalk it up to it being the theater but I felt the same way after seeing Superman in 3D a few years ago. We then headed back to the condo where the girls stayed while we caught the movie and Gilly made the greatest spaghetti and caesar salad. After days of new and different Mexican food, it was nice to have something familiar.

We stayed there watching the men's mogul event and figure skating until about 10, and then headed home.
