Little Ryker is so worn out! He slept in until 9 this morning. That’s rare...and unusual because he has been waking up at 6 the past couple of days. Every once in awhile he would pop his head up and look around and then he would go back to sleep. I’m exhausted so I’m sure his little body is tired too! And he hasn’t been eating as well as we hoped. Too much going on I guess.
We docked it Puerta Vallarta around noon and Ryker was napping so we waited a little for him to wake up. Our first stop was Walmart. I know...not the usual tourist stop but we needed more diapers. 😂 It was crazy to see signs and products written in Spanish! We bought a few souvenirs there. This Walmart had sound systems and mopeds next to diapers and sunscreen. Not quite like in the USA. We walked around the mall next to Walmart for a bit then headed back to the boat to eat and rest.

Late afternoon, Rob and I took a catamaran to land. It was called Caletas (the cove) and they say it is only accessible by boat. Granny and Papa watched all the kids while we enjoyed an adults-only evening consisting of dinner and a show called Rhythms of the Night. The buffet style dinner was on the beach and we were surrounded by candlelight. Words cannot accurately describe the gorgeous atmosphere and the calming sound and feel of the ocean. The crew on the catamaran set off the night with music, drinks, and some fun and informational banter. The breeze and the ocean set a soothing tone and helped us relax. The island trails were lit by 3,000 candles and 400 torches! The show was a Cirque type show with a Mexican theme. The flying numbers were controlled by the actors hanging from a giant crane. It was a rustic but effective way of presenting dancing and acrobatics in a creative way.
We rounded out the evening with a high-energy party and a singing/dancing presentation by the boat crew. And I saw a flying fish next to our boat! I never really believed they existed but it was very cool to see it! It was a great evening and much needed time away from kids!
Until next time...
