Kathleen welcome you all to the beach at Los Ayala

A great thing happened on Tuesday January 7 when I (Al) was in the neighbouring town of Rincon de Guayabitos(1/2 hour walk north) shopping. I hear someone shout out my name as I am about to walk out of town. I turn and see this  relaxed cowboy hat guy waving at me. I realized that it was Kathleen's brother Keith.

Amazingly we found each other without knowing we were both down in Mexico . Amazing. Kaith and Collen visited us at our beach on the 8th. See pictures below :)

SUNDAY JANUARY 3, 2010 CHARLIE'S RESTAURANT LOS AYALA,NAYARIT,MEXICO

Here is a picture of Kathleen at the local restaurant Charlie's trying a Margarita. She did not finish it all as she remember she really is not that into alcohol

 

We got the restaurant to make us guacamole and at the end of the meal we got soft tortillas once they realize we are gringos who actually like Mexican food. the fresh squeezed Orange juice was excellent :)

Veda enjoyed the food even though she was wondering how we were going to order when we knew very little Spanish.

MONDAY JANUARY 4, 2010 OUR FIRST DAY ON THE BEACH AT LOS AYALA :)

We  immediately enjoyed our beachfront bungalow and the mile long beach. We loved all the beach vendors. Veda really liked that food came to her frequently and was delicious.

Above is pictures of Veda and Al's first swim, the pineapple woman who made what Al dubbed "PINEAPPLE MEGALOPOLIS", and a shot of Veda's first siesta.
