Bucerias

We had a date, to meet our older daughter Amy and her family in Bucerias, Nayarit. How exciting for all of us!

Years ago, cousin Sue, was staying in Los Picos Hotel in Bucerias and we dropped in for a short visit. We remembered that it was in a good spot with good facilities, especially for families, so we booked a week stay there for all of us. A three bedroom, three bathroom condo right on the ocean and with 3 swimming pools and a big slide.

Travelling to Bucerias from Ajijic wasn’t too bad. A taxi to the bus station in Ajijic, a bus to Revolucion street in Guadalajara, a short taxi ride to the new Guadalajara bus station where we caught a comfortable bus with movies to watch to Bucerias. Then a short taxi ride to the hotel. About 6 hours total. Looks like it would cost a lot but no, it was pretty economical!

Our family arrived the next night after a worrisome Sunday in emergency. Their 6 year old son had become really sick (Norovirus) on Saturday and they thought that maybe they would have to cancel their trip. The doctor felt that they would be okay to go wearing masks and he prescribed an antibiotic, just in case. So, they came, exhausted but happy to be able to go on their trip. Whew.

The whole week was a lot of fun. The condo was perfect with a kitchen, living room and patio and looked out over a big pool area. Audrey and Matt spent a lot of time in the pool and going down the big, scary slide. By the end of the week, Nathan felt well enough to not want to get out of the pool. In fact, he even went down the slide with his dad and loved it! Audrey became a diving queen, and Amy and Matt got some free time to just relax in the sun.

Pat and Gail came down by bus from Chacala for a visit. They were thrilled to see Amy again and to meet her growing family. A funny thing happened. Pat left wearing Chris’ sandals that were similar except … Chris wears a size 10 and Pat wears a size 13! Pat is no Cinderella so the shoes must have felt pretty uncomfortable!

It was sad for us when the kids all left but we were so happy that all had worked out well and they were able to come down and enjoy some Mexican sunshine and a fun holiday.Les mer
