La Manzanilla

Our week in Sayulita was awesome apart from the lack of surf, but we did manage to soak up some pretty amazing sunsets.

 We bided some time by getting a custom painting done by a local artist. We were super stoked on the out come!

And some of the Frenchies in our campground allowed us to test out their slack line. I think I have lost some balance skills since retiring from ski racing!! But it was fun none the less!

From Sayulita we headed south past the crazy city of Puerto Vallarta to the mellow town of La Manzanilla. Thank goodness for friends as Craig Hill's (trainer from the ski team) father Gerry has an amazing little place here and was kind enough to let us borrow it for a few days. So for the last few days we have been experiencing the lives of the snow birds.

While having happy hour we discussed our next adventure we are dreaming of which is buying a boat and exploring the oceans!

Mmmm Happy Hour

The fam in Melaque

 A couple days ago we headed to the mountains to check out a couple of volcanoes. This one is Volcan de Fuego (Volcano of Fire). It was amazing to drive around it and watch it smoke.

Delicious quesadillas in the shadow of the Volcano

On the way back to La Manzanilla, we stopped to check out some Mexican Horse Dancing (see video in the post below!) 

The Silver Spur!!!

Mexican horse dancing is for people of all ages!

All in all it has been a blast to have my parents here, but we are itching to take off again. Today or tomorrow we shall pack up Kumu again and search out some surf. Take it easy
