tropical paradise

This is where we set up for our last sunset in Puerto Vallarta. We were so spoiled with loungers, chairs, drink tables, drink waiters, and fresh towels. I had to plop down on the sand a couple times just to keep it real.
This guy had one too many Coronas I'd say.
We saw a couple guys like this due to the strong waves we had there, we also body surfed near a sizeable sting ray, watched whales from the shore, and were entertained by black birds snacking on sugar packets and stealing drinks from the feet-washing faucets.
This picture just gives a glimpse of how strong the waves were and how delusional I am about my stick body and strength. The last time we took out the boogie boards I was unprepared for the size of the waves and instead of surfing on them, the waves bent my legs up and pancaked me. I think my feet were close to my face at that time (and yes, I am still trying to clean all the sand off of my body).Sometimes I need a reminder that I should respect the power of the ocean and a little caution is smart now and then, standing there at sunset though it's hard to think of anything but how gorgeous it is and how lucky I am.
