We spent two days in Guadalajara taking in the finer things like food, some more food and well, more food after that. We took some time to check out equipal furniture and I took a bunch of interesting detail street photos and i’ve been formulating some kind of gallery show in my mind after having plowed through Beautiful Losers in two days.
Marcia’s mom recently moved to Puerto Aventura, a small little development town on the east coast of the Yucatan, between Cancun and Akumal. And since flights are much cheaper from the GDL then they are from Vallarta we decided to take a week off and visit her. The diving is ridiculous here and we’re scheduled for our first dive in an hour or so.
My parents took us diving in Akumal, almost 20 years ago, yeah i’ve been diving since I was 11. I had a coming-to-god experience with the ocean in Akumal and with a school of Jew fish in particular, giant Groupers - slow swimmers, docile and as big as vw bugs. Since then, i’ve always wanted to return.
I can’t wait to get back in the water and to enjoy a nice little vacation. when we get back, it’s straight to work, the soils test is back and our architectural plans have been digitized and are ready to go to structural engineering, on the sayulita project. This means I have to get down and dirty and do all the interior design work.
meanwhile, back in Vallarta another storm is passing through and the boys say there’s some great swell. oh well.
