Las Caletas, Mexico

Ahhh Mexico.  The first time I ever paddled a kayak was in January of 2008, at a resort in Bucerias, just north of Puerto Vallarta.  There were 3 of us out that morning, and we were visited by a pod of playful dolphins.  I was hooked from that point on. 

In January 2011, I spent a week at a resort near Punta de Mita, which is about an hour's drive from Puerto Vallarta.  I was really looking forward to doing some more ocean kayaking, but the conditions at the resort were too dangerous, with too many high waves breaking all at once.  Each day, I kept hoping the conditions would improve, but they didn't.  We had to get on a boat and go to a different beach to do some kayking, and it was worth it.  I didn't take my camera with me on the water, but here are some shots from the beach of the area I got to paddle around.

 Beautiful beach!


Even in Mexico there are stumps.....
