Mexico 2009

I took over 400 photos on our 7 day vacation....so I only picked a few to post here....very few! ;)
I fell in love with the sand in Mazatlan, it was golden and the patterns the ocean made were amazing!



This is one of the cliff divers.....they do about 5 dives a day for tips, that is how they support their families.

Loved the sunsets



This is the Cathedral in Mazatlan

Can you say sunburn????

On the streets of Mexico

I fell in love with this plant/flower, the Bird of Paradise

The fresh bricks made by hand...they will soon find themselves in a new home or resort in town. The brick makers make about 1000 bricks a day (a nine hour day) and only make about 200 pasos a day (around about 14 US dollars)


This photo and the next few were from one of the small villages we visited....












And then we went zip lining......... Oh so much fun, but I was SOOOOOOO scared the first one we went on, about five stories up and WAY long!



Then, after nine lines, we had to do a vertical drop!

Those were amazing pictures - as always! Loved the one of the local squatting down by the building.

I'm so glad you two got away - isn't it worthwhile/wonderful/divine?!

Heard it's snowing today in Mac?
