With a little help from our friends

Ola Amigos, We are in Marina Riviera Nayarit in La Cruz de Huanacaxtle, Bahia de Banderas . We are just north of Puerto Vallarta. We want to acknowledge how helpful all of the people and butterflies and birds and fishes of Mexico have been to us. Our picture today is of a butterfly that a complied us partway down from Chacala. There were 30 knot winds so she rested on our boat from time to time. Frigate birds appear to enjoy following you and will circle your boat forever. We are entertained by schools of fishes and the many marine birds that follow them.
Today we dropped off our laundry bag at the Marina's office. The lady who picks up the laundry and washes it heard that we wanted to take the bus to Punta Mita. She offered to drive us to the bus stop. On the way she gave us a tour of the city and introduced us to her son. We got on the bus and held out a handful of change and the bus driver showed us that the trip was 20 pesos for the both of us.
In Punta Mita we had almost a 2 hour lunch on the sand. Mary Lee wanted to order the "Mary Lee Special" and as usual it is no problemo. She even negotiated a 'Noon Happy Hour". Hopefully the restaurants will hire her to rewrite the menus.
We are going to spend another week here and explore PV. Mary Lee is also planning on breaking out her golf clubs and playing 18 holes.
Happy nature sightings to you until we blog again.
Mary Lee and Lewis
