The Girls Go To Mexico Part 4 - Hammocks and Sunsets

¡Holla Mis Amigas!

As you've probably been able to gather from parts 1, 2, and 3 of my Girls Go To Mexico series, we had a fabulous time!  I ended up coming home with nearly 800 photos and a good number of them were scenic sunset shots.  I decided it would be poetic to comprise a post of sunset shots to commemorate the sun setting on our trip.  Obvious?  Perhaps.  Fabulous?  Most definitely.

Most of these photos were taken on the beach where the resort has two hammocks, so before we get to the sunsets, I thought I would share some shots of the girls having hammock time.  It was extra exciting for me since it was my first time in the hammocks.  Yes, it was my fourth trip, but up until this year, I would come home and feel like I failed myself a bit by not spending a little time lounging in the hammocks.  Not this year.



Has anyone ever looked more fab in a hammock than Janice?  I doubt it.





Since Janice was in the other hammock, I joined Tina in hers.  Those are my tootsies! 

Once Janice vacated the other hammock, it looked so lonely.

So, I went to keep it company.




I think Janice regretting abandoning her hammock, so she came back and jumped in with Tina.  Poor Tina, always having to share...
Sharing can be fun!

But a hammock to yourself is heaven!
The sun was starting to set and a tropical storm started moving in.  So perfect!


























And now...the fabulous tropical sunsets!

Day 5

While the sun didn't set on our last day, it ended this way.


 After soaking in the resort for the last few precious minutes, Luis saw us off.
 And there you go lovelies, a photographic account of five days in paradise.

¡Buenas Noches, Senoritas!

The Girls Go To Mexico Part 3 - Puerto Vallarta Through Tina's Eyes

Buenos Días My Lovelies!

In my head, sharing my Mexican vacation with you was going to be broken up into a three-part series.  Then I started going through the photos (all 735 of them)...  As I mentioned in Part 2, while Janice, Brianne, Heather, and I were getting massages, Tina went off to explore Puerto Vallarta, my camera in hand.  When I started going through my photos when we returned, I found 90 photos from that little excursion!

While they don't really fit into the other posts, I thought I would have one post dedicated to the images she captured.  While I'm not sharing ALL the photos, I'd like you to see some of my favorites.  Enjoy!

The boardwalk in Puerto Vallarta (the Malecon) has some really amazing sculptures and while Tina didn't photograph them all (it stretches one mile) she did capture quite a few.







The first year we went to Puerto Vallarta, it started pouring as we got into the city.  This is still my favorite of the Malecon statues - and how perfect is this with the storm behind it??


While not technically a statue, I've always loved these arches.  What a great shot, Tina!























She also got some great scenic shots of the water.

Tina also captured some really great shots of the city that reflect the feel of the city.







A little history for you.

And a bit more history.
Puerto Vallarta merges the old with the new.  The city is filled with history, but also graffiti.  Though I have to say, this is probably the best type of tagging.


While I have no idea what type of an establishment this sign is posted outside of, I couldn't NOT show you this fantastic sign.  "No sexual comments please."


I hope you enjoyed Tina's tour of Puerto Vallarta.  Stay tuned for the last installment of our Mexican vacation!

¡Hasta Mis Amigas!
