Today we woke at 7 and sat on the patio watching the sun rise as we overlooked Banderas Bay. This huge bay, one of the deepest and largest natural bays in the world is what protects this coastline from even the worst storms of the Pacific Ocean.
We played in one of the eight pools at this 5 star condo complex in the morning and then drove to Puenta Mita to a new beach. As you drive along the highway, you are enveloped in the jungle atmosphere with trees flowing over the highway forming tunnels all along the road. The different flowers are beautiful. In the early 1990's, the Mexican government concluded a deal with private interests to build a Four Seasons Resort here. Unfortunately, it was on communally owned land, the base of local fishing and boating. The locals were all moved away and the local ejido people are still challenging the government. It is a beautiful beach area and we ate at El Dorado right on the waterfront all done up in yellow and greens. Lexi and Trey learned how to eat limes. We enjoyed the small turtles in the water fountain as we walked out.
