Back in Mexico

We have decided not to do a big blog for our time in Mexico this year. We will be revisiting places that we have been to in the past so Chris doesn’t think that there won’t be a lot of new things to see or to write about. I’m not so sure…

We are now in Chacala, Mexico. FindPenguins just let me know that we were in Mexico 295 days ago. So funny. And in Chacala in 2020 just before Covid broke out.

One week after coming home from Egypt, we hopped on a plane and flew to Puerto Vallarta. Originally, I tried to get flights from Egypt to Mexico but it cost way too much and would have taken hours to get here. Cheaper to just fly back home. And we saw our kids and reorganized our luggage for a hotter climate. Worked out just right.

Chacala is a sweet little fishing village, a 2 hour drive north of P.V. Our long time travelling friends are staying here and booked a 2 bedroom apartment in a small building close to the beach. We are staying with them for a couple of weeks. Their grandson and his wife are also staying close by for a 5 day mini vacation so we were lucky to spend some time with them for a few days.

Our first full day in Chacala was spent by first of all hiking up the nearby volcano and enjoying the amazing view of the bay and village from its summit. Then we all went to a lovely restaurant near the marina for a buffet brunch.

Then we unpacked and settled in. We stayed with P and G in another apartment in this building 3 years ago so it feels like home to us.

At 3 pm, we all went out whale watching and we saw whales! It was pretty exciting.

But the fun didn’t end there. Since it was the kids’ last night before heading home, we all went out to see the sunset over the ocean and then a seafood dinner at Las Brisas.

We love Mexico!Читать далее
