Che avventura! Avevamo scelto l'escursione Jeep Safari and Beach adventure e lo era davvero!
What an adventure! We had chosen Jeep Safari and Beach adventure and we had the time of our lives!
We started out by admiring on the dock Rosita, the parakeet. Here Rosita is with Martha.
Here Rosita is with Elina. I think they didn't click - or at least Rosita didn't: she pooped on Elina! Bad Bird!
Our jeep
and our fearless driver Elina!
and our tour guide Pepè
We went off-road to go into the mountains of Sierra Madre and we were given bandanas.(could keep them as souvenirs!) The dust was everywhere.
We visited a village where the ninos offered us yarn bracelets made by them.
On the way back we stopped at a tequila factory and learned how tequila is made. This is blue agave, the plant out of which tequila is made.
Only the core or the fruit, the pina, which resembles a giant pineapple is used for tequila.
After the process of shredding, crushing, pressing the juice and letting it ferment, the tequila is distilled for the first time. After the second time it is diluted and bottled and we have Silver tequila. Reposado is obtained from tequila which has aged in an oak barrell minimum 2 months but less than a year. Anejo has aged from 1 to 3 years in an oak barrell. You could tell the difference in taste!
Arriva, abajo, al centro, para dentro!
My first margarita ever! It does have a smoky taste. Not bad but I didn't fall in love with it:)
Back to the city and the waterfront.
The beach was beautiful
Hand painted ceramic plates. Why didn't I buy one?? I bought a suitcase in Puerto Vallarta, I could have bought a plate!
Just passed by la Catédral Basìlica de la Inmaculada Concepcion
It's a long way to home from there!
Loved Puerto Vallarta.
Tomorrow Cabo San Lucas.
