Last Resort

Nuevo Vallarta, Nayarit, Mexico

Paradise Village Resort and Marina: Our room, while pretty ordinary as resort hotels go, is about twice the floor space as our entire boat. It has a huge stand-up refrigerator and freezer, electric stove and a microwave.  A totally separate shower stall in the bathroom, a huge satellite-fed TV, and a queen-sized bed.  Those of you who do not live on a boat probably don't understand what this feels like - this is true luxury living for us.  This picture, by the way, is where we would have been in the marina, if we had managed to sail this far this season; That guy with the helicopter is probably in our spot!

Our short stay here has been pretty exciting.  We have laid by the pool, laid on the beach, had a leisurely walk down the block past a few of the other resorts, sipped cocktails by the ocean, ate far too much food, etc.  You know, just generally leading a high-energy active lifestyle.  You can check out the facilities here at http://www.paradisevillage.com/  if you so desire.

They have a bit of a zoo here - mostly just tigers.  This fellow seems to have figured out how to beat the heat - does that look comfy or what?

Tomorrow all of this ends as we head north for Edmonton.  Sometimes life is really unfair.
