Mexico is overwhelmingly Catholic
This is one of their most visited churches in the heart of
Puerto Vallarta
 

Inside...to see all the tourists...

I find that people rarely look up. I however always look up and
I thought this ornate metal piece was quite lovely

The island is lite with 2500 torches and hundreds of votive candles...

Me...in candle light trying to see my meal.
We finally ate supper at 10:30
After the show which was great!

Another night we took a boat ride out to an island for a 'Circ de Soleil' show and supper
This is the type of boat we and 68 other tourists were on

An evening shot of the hotel strip and the Bay

Other snorkel boats and lots of birds to see

As these islands are bird sanctuaries people are not aloud to step on the land. We were able to swim up close
and personal to the rocks and let me tell you the waves are very strong and if you are on the wrong side of the rock formations  things can get a little dicey very quickly. Luckily we had an excellent snorkel leader who kept us out of
trouble

We took in a full day of bird, whale watching/snorkeling/sailing with 26 other people on this fine
sailboat.
Included snorkelling tour, breakfast, lunch and booze.
Not that we indulged in the brooze as alcohol and sailing really shouldn't mix in my opinion

On our way out to the National Bird Sanctuary/ Island 4 hours off the coast / Bandarous Bay 

We have arrived...
Getting ready to snorkel

I always like to include what the currency looks like in other countries
Here is the Mexican Peso which is completely different from the Cuban Peso
 in case you think that they are interchangeable 

This is me in my new dress at the Mediterranean restaurant.
Turns out I quite like their house white 

Glen thought that he might want to buy a boat...or perhaps a helicopter...
This yacht is owned by an 83 year old Billionaire...yes we 'googled' him
