mexico 2011

Guess the boys missed us more than we thought Got back and gave them there new Soccer uniforms straight from mexico. The problem is they will not take them off. Went to lunch with Grandma Whitefish before she left for home, Trevor wore his jersey, shorts and snowboots. How fitting.
All three boys wearing thier jerseys.




Maryanne and I in front of the sand Corona bottle at the airport. Only in mexico will you find a giant bottle of beer and a bucket of corona!








Leaving day in Mexico. All three girls; Maryanne, Red and I

This is what happens the day you leave Mexico and have a lot of corona and alcohol to finish!
Chris, Matt and Red

We did one day/evening in Ixtapa and tried out Senior Frog's. Great company, not so great restaurant

Appetizers and drinks in Ixtapa; Conner and Matt

The three girls again, wasting time in the car

Chris and his big fish he caught from shore. A local said it was dorado due to the color. Not sure if we believe her because it was a dark meat

One of the many beautiful sunsests we encountered
Cori, Maryanne, Matt and Cassie

This fish took many of us to bring in. The boys went out on an 8 hour fishing tour and the girls stayed home. While they were gone we noticed small bait fish in the surf. Eden took the oportunity to fish and caught this massive fish. As you will see from the following pics it took quite a few of us to bring it in. We even had to ask Victor for help!









The pool! And the beach in the background. Tough I know but someone had to go there and find out what it was like.

Me and Eric at one of the nightly dinners

Matt and I

We brought the slack line from home. Great entertainment


Our resident Iguana that lived outside our room.




Mac and I



Dinner again. You must eat when you consume as much beer and alcohol as we did on a regular basis. They say you should not drink the water so what else are you suppose to drink?

Mac and Red enjoying the hammock

Us girls on the beach again. Looks like I put my shirt on inside out. Atleast I got in on!

Matt in the surf fishing

Matt and Chris. After flying for 7 hours Chris needed to hit the surf

Yes, this is where we had to spend all 10 of your days. Pretty shabby!

One of the incredible sunsets from the house. Tough I know

on the beach, again

Found a coconut and had to get the milk out. Pina coladas of course.

Matt and I

Pealing garlic if you really want to know.

The kitchen

Our first breakfast in Mexico. Huevo's Ranchero's
10 days in Mexico with 10 great people. What a diverse mix of people that blended so well. Many of us had never met, but would love to travel with each other again. We rented a house just south of Zihuatanejo on a very private beach called playa blanca. Maybe 5 people walked in front of the house on a daily basis. Most just strolling the beach or locals fishing. More pics to follow when I get others from everyone else. These are just a few of the ones we took.
