Intentions

Welcome; the intention is to tell a little about my whereabouts, travel adventures, and issues at Elk Ridge, including when I will be on the ranch, when a great time to visit (send grandchildren), etc. Hopefully there will be different divisions for Travel, Ranch Activities, etc.

Puerto Vallarta

Good morning! Here it is another cloudless day early in the morning. We can see egrets flying down along the misty river and the resort is starting to wake up. The sprinklers are going down on the golf course (can see it from our 7th story) and that's where I'm heading this morning!
Forgot to mention our trip in Puerto Vallarta a couple days ago. A fun bus ride on a fairly modern bus down to the local WalMart, then switch to a local bus for the rest of the 20 minute trip into the center. That bus I'm almost certain is fresh out of the jungles of Nicaragua or the like, but you just get in and hang on. Once down town we strolled around, shopped a little bit, and had a little bit to eat on the beach. While sitting at the beach we saw whales, and one large one must have breached clear out of the water because just as I looked up there was this huge splash. Following that even from probably about 1/3 of a mile or so you could clearly see a smaller little whale jumping out of the water, 2 or 3 times, with a smaller splash but clearly having fun. After a stroll along the mercado we caught the old blue school bus, then the better bus, then had dinner along the way home. Getting brave here.
Tomorrow we head home; this is one of more relaxing vacations we've had, for sure. Susan has had a few spa days and I've played the golf. All that's included in our weeks so except for the club rental it's all included. Nice. Home tomorrow via Phoenix but then on to Long Beach for a couple of days the finally Tucson on Sunday.
Love to all, DAD/UR
