Week 11-12 April 1-10 Bucerias – Final Days – Final Thoughts

It’s hard to believe we have been living in Bucerias for three months – sun and fun every day, and the time went by so quickly. We missed our family and friends, but it would have been depressing being at home for the three months dealing with the cold and damp winter in the BC lower mainland. Many of our friends also escaped to warmer climates and we stayed in touch with Skype and emails, as we also did with our grandchildren. And of course we made many new friends while in Bucerias, which has been the highlight of our trip. We shared many moments together at daily happy hours, potluck dinners and visits to local restaurants. There have been many unforgettable moments and highlights to remember, such as:

• Sisters Julie and Shirley spending two weeks together
• The release of sky lanterns that filled the sky during a wedding ceremony
• Long walks on the beach and stopping to join a volleyball game
• Swimming in the ocean
• Watching fishers and divers each day in front of the condo
• Watching hundreds of pelicans for a week in front of our condo feasting on fish
• Watching kite surfers and sail boats fill the bay
• Watching sunsets every day
• Observing the blessing of the boats, which included a festival, carnival and dancing horses
• Bar-top dancing at the Drunken Duck (seniors gone wild)
• Visits to Puerto Vallarta, La Cruz and Sayulita
• Valentine’s Day celebration in PV old town
• Going to the local Sunday markets
• Bartering with the locals
• Helping a street dog find a suitable home – thanks Leslie and Kosta for adopting Libra
• Feeding and making friends with the street cats
