Hola, finally after a couple days of picture downloading, they are all ready to be posted! Enjoy,
Olivia, Ali, Myself, Megan, and Taylor at the Resort Sign. Us 5 were always together, always laughing, people called us trouble when they saw us!
Where to start? I have SO many pictures,
The Beach, amazing, there were little huts, which I loved! Every night they raked the beach, so I tryed to get a photo before all the hard work was ruined!
Again, the Beach, in the middle is a large hut by the windsurf! That's where we met Alfredo and Henna Boy, got our hair braided, and the tattoos!
One night, waiting for the show to start, which we ended up being late for, Olivia and Taylor played Chess. Look how tanned that little sister of mine is!
Ali also made some lovely faces while we waited!
And, Olivia got caught in the middle of an interesting pose! What a face, those sisters!
The show started, and Luis sung, so obviously Ali and I needed our picture with him! We called him over, and he came! He was an amazing singer, and he has a CD, so I also got his autograph!
This was rope boy in the middle of his act! He was super, his tricks were stunning!
So, Ali and I needed a picture with him, and that's what we got! Isn't he adorable?
Mr. Hips was at the show too, so we also got a picture with him! We never knew his name, but he could dance like no-one I had ever seen. He was incredible!
This lady (Rope Boy's Mother) came with their Donkey, so we all got pictures on the donkey! We think he rode the donkey from his house in Puerto Vallarta to our resort, long ride!
Unfortunately, I was wearing a skirt so I couldn't get on the donkey too well. I was very close to falling off!
The others all had their pictures with the donkey too!
The Donkey!
And, the Donkey Lady! She was so nice, but she didn't speak much english!
The 5 of us were really keen about the donkey, so the moment was captured!
We went to one of the many bars, and chatted with Trainee the bartender while he made our drinks! In the end he let me take his picture!
The group shot! The 2 families from Victoria, and Megan from Vancouver!
We got a picture of the security guards, why I don't know, but I like the picture!
The next morning, after breakfast we decided to go around the resort taking pictures!
The pool, and part of the grounds.
We got our picture with one of the Bell Boys, he was so funny! Mexicans have devine cologne, his was one of the best!
Circle of Feet, while we waited to take a picture of the Receptionists!
There they are, the 2 kind receptionists.
Towel Boy as we called him REALLY didn't want his picture taken. First, he hid, and then he emerged like this!
After a while, he came out from under the towel!
KARLA AND ANTONIO! Karla was one of my favorites, she lead the stretching class, and was so nice to us 5! Amazing dancer she was, I miss her. Antonio was nice too, he lead the water aerobics on the final day, which were very fun!
LUISITO AND WILL! One day when Ali and I were waiting for Water Aerobics to start we had a long chat with Luisito who worked in the Water Sports Hut! Will was so funny, he didn't speak very much english, but he would come and eat breakfast with us and give us huge hugs! His brother also worked around the resort!
Us 5 and 2 more bartenders at the Poolside Bar! They always called us "Senoritas", I loved it!
Introducing Henna Boy. We never found out his name, but he did all our tattoos! One day, when I was sitting in the sun on the beach reading, he came up to me and told me I looked like I was 14. I wasn't too pleased, but then later when my sister got out the water she asked what was wrong with my face and it turned out I had drink and food everywhere. Oh dear.
Megan, Luis, Ali, Homero, Olivia and Taylor at the Pool! Luis and Homero were of the favorites too! Homero was an breathtaking breakdancer, it was crazy! Those 2 Mexicans, Will, and Mr. Hips were great at the Discos!
Another picture of the pool was taken at a quiet moment!
Down at the Grill was this chef! His hat and face were so cute! One time we couldn't figure out what hot dog was in Spanish, so Ali asked him for a Caliente Chien (hot in spanish, and dog in french) and he looked so confused!
Us 5 and the 2 bartenders back at the bar! This time we all had huge bottles of Sol, but there wasn't one for Olivia, so she grapped some vodka!
At 3pm everyday, the activity staff did the resort dance on the side of the pool! Us 5 usually danced along in the pool but this day we were getting our hair braided!
Hair braiding in process! They were SO fast, 45mins for a whole head!
The finished products! Ali, Megan, Olivia, Taylor and myself at the beach! Megan didn't get hers done, but the rest of us did!
After the Braiding we went to Dance Class with Karla to learn the Resort Dance!
Obviously, I didn't catch on, so I'm going the wrong way as usual!
"Shake it, Shake it, but don't Brake it" by the end of the week, my shaking was very improved!
The alcohol at the one bar, and that wasn't even half of it!
Beach Sunset, so purdy!
One of the Waiters making Mexican Coffee in the one restaurant! It was crazy to watch, all on fire and purple!
The palm trees in the sunset! This picture is one of my favorites, I miss the beautiful Mexican sunsets.
The final show we saw was Disney, so after we got pictures with a lot of the cast!
Me, Ali, Karla, Olivia, Megan, Taylor, and Will! Snow White and the Prince
Megan (facing the wrong way) Ali, Me, Luis, Olivia, Taylor, and Maria! Belle and Clock.
Mr. Hips as the candlestick was lonely because none of the little ones wanted their picture with him, so I took a picture to make him feel better!
Ali, Mickey, Minnie, Taylor, Olivia, Me, and Megan! Mickey was Homero, but no idea who Minnie was.
Finally, they said there was a surprise for all the kids! Winnie the Pooh Santa Arrived!
Megan, Ali, Olivia, Luisito as Winnie, Taylor and Myself broke his knees, but we got a picture!
On our last day, we did as much as possible! It was Christmas Day! Breakfast with the girls, Will, and Luis, soccer and beach volleyball with the Mexicans, water aerobics, Shania Twain dancing in the pool, lunch, and good-byes.
Taylor, Olivia, and Will after a hard game of Soccer!
There was also a para-sailing Santa! It was superb!
The Staff at Rehearsal for the evening show, which was occuring while we were on the plane.
Gabriel, our favorite waiter! He was so nice, always "Hello Pretty Ladies, can I get you something to drink?" and on our final day he told us it was okay that we had to leave because we would be back soon!
I was NOT pleased to be leaving, and I cryed. Luis liked the sombrero, and wanted a picture with it on both our heads, I hogged it, and then we had to run for our bus.
Final Picture, the group minus Megan at the Victoria Airport
It was an amazing trip, and I'm already planning to go back next Christmas! I love Mexico and the Samba Vallarta!
This post took an hour, and if I think about it anymore, I might just cry.
Adios.
