Mexico Part two - The Food.

I just love Mexican food. Maybe because I grew up eating Mexican and Mennonite food. The first time I had a burger was when we were moving from Mexico to Texas. We stopped at a McDonald's, I could not finish my burger. I thought it was disgusting.

At our resort there were four different restaurants. For breakfast there was a buffet and an area where you could get them to make you bacon, eggs, omelets, or pancakes. For lunch we usually ate a the beach hut. We could get burger and fries, but there was also fried fish, re fried beans and more. For supper we could go to a restaurant and order from a menu, or some nights they had themed meals. One night we ate out on the beach. Another night was Mexican night. The variety of food they served was amazing.
This picture was taken the night we ate out on the beach.

Guests staying at our resort received a coupon to go to a fancy restaurant for one meal. Above is the dessert we got there.

The pork I ordered at the restaurant was delicious. On top was a peanut sauce that tasted kind of like peanut butter. It was interesting, but good.

We ate outside. It was a beautiful evening...very romantic.

The restaurant.

I would definitely go all inclusive again. It was so nice not to have to think about meals planning.

The food at the botanical gardens we went to. It was awesome. Served with fresh tortillas of course.

One evening we took an hour long boat ride to this island for dinner and a show. The show was good, although the storyline was confusing, and the food was once again delicious.

Eating on the beach without a care in the world. What a great way to spend time together for our tenth anniversary.

Mexico Part 1 - The View

Doug and I had our 10Th anniversary in June. To celebrate we took a trip to Mexico. We decided to go in the winter because we have nice weather here in June.

Anyway we had an awesome time! We hung out at the beach, and went on some excursions. It was so wonderful to slow down and spend time together without any responsibilities.

As soon as we got back from our trip we were back at the rat race of life. Today I got an unexpected day off work because two of the boys are sick, so I finally get to sit down and post about our trip. There is so much I want to share, so it will come in parts.

The following are some pictures of the spectacular scenery in Puerta Vallarta. Every day was 25-30 degrees Celsius and sunny. I could get used to that kind of weather in January.
One evening our resort hosted an awesome supper out on the beach and this was the view from our table of the ocean.

This is the view of our resort from a boat.

Another evening view of the ocean from our beach.

My first time ever seeing palm trees.

Almost daily, Doug and I took a walk on the beach. It was so beautiful. I don't think that I could ever get sick of the ocean view.

This was the view from our balcony. We were on the sixth floor. We couldn't have picked a better room.

Another view from our balcony of the ocean and our resort swimming pool.

I would go back in a heartbeat. As a matter of fact I think that spending January and February there would be awesome, unfortunately not realistic.
