Yelapa, Mexico

My parents generously offered to take care of Sasha for a week over my mom's spring break while Phil and I got away for a few days. We flew to Puerto Vallarta on Monday and then took a small fishing boat to Yelapa (no roads go there) about 45 minutes south where we got a much needed break. The most energy expended was getting up from the beachside tables to move over to the hammock under a beach cabana.
One of the things we appreciated the most about the vacation were eating 3 lengthy meals a day uninterrupted with good conversation, something that doesn't happen often with a 1-year-old around. We also enjoyed a daily snack of homemade pie on the beach. The same middle-aged Mexican woman would come by our chairs every morning around 11 am and offer us still warm apple, banana, lemon merengue, or coconut chocolate pie. An unlikely but delicious beach treat....
The fresh water pool at our hotel overlooking the bay where Yelapa lies was very refreshing in the hot afternoon.
We had beautiful sunset views from our thatched roof hut on the beach.
