Cruise Pics 2 - Puerto Vallarta

A picture of our first port, Puerto Vallarta, from our balcony.




We decided to take a hiking tour and here we are on a short bus ride.



And we're off....beautiful and lush greenery all around us as we climbed up the foothills -- it was a VERY steep climb!



If you zoom in, there's a beautiful butterfly...in fact there were tons of different kinds of butterflies flitting about us -- it felt kind of like a fairy land (just really humid weather!)


This is an example of one of the trees that has many nasty thorns! It didn't take us long to learn to stay away from those!

A hot mineral spring -- but we were so warm from the hike we just looked and waited for the cold small river coming up...



These turkeys don't know how lucky they are....their poor cousins north of the border are going to have a tough Thanksgiving tomorrow!


Michelyn kept her eyes open for unique birds...here's an egret in the river.
