The first weekend in October some BEAUTIFUL girls came to visit. We had so much fun. Jami arrived Thursday night. I picked her up from the airport, we came back to the apartment and off to downtown for a yummy dinner. She pumped me full of questions. I had soo much fun answering her questions and just reassured myself even more of my decision to be here in PV. We woke up Friday morning and I asked Jami if she wanted to hang out with me at work. I had to head downtown to order our cakes for our upcoming October events, etc. We headed to the office and then we were off to order cakes with Memo at Charme. It was soo much fun. We quickly ran through the two fabric stores here in Vallarta and she snapped some photos of the "expensive" fabric store. I LOVE the fabrics and laces in this store. They have every color you can imagine. Here's a couple photos.
Then it back to the office where I was able to get a TON accomplished and off to the airport to pick up Liza. Friday afternoon we walked around a bit and headed over to Daiquiri Dick's for some drinks and appetizers and to watch the sunset.
Saturday morning we were up early and headed downtown for a quick breakfast at one of my favorite cafes for some coffee and a quick bite to eat before heading off to our Spa Day.
We treated ourselves to an amazing day of massages, facials, manicures and pedicures. After successfully feeling relaxed and pampered we were all geared up to go shopping. I wanted to take the girls to all of my favorite shops, but I knew it was going to be a bit tough since still being off season and later in the afternoon on a Saturday, but we did our best and the girls got some really nice stuff to bring home to their families. We stopped for some chips, guac and salsa at a restaurant right on the beach and we chatted. We actually saw my couple that was arriving into town for their wedding that following weekend. That certainly hit home knowing that our season was about to begin. We continued our way downtown to the market and the girls were able to buy some really great souvenirs for back home. By the end of the day, we were all exhausted so we rented a movie and headed back to the apartment to relax.The girls had a hard time sleeping with the roosters out in the street, dogs barking, the HEAT & HUMIDITY and the random horses rummaging through the garbage.
Sunday was a fun day of FUN IN THE SUN. We went to spend the day at Dreams Resort to have some relaxing time by the pool and on the sand and surf. These pictures explain it all. I have to admit that this was the first time since I've moved here that I actually spent time in the ocean and it was sooo much fun body surfing. I later discovered that there was a couple of tropical storms/hurricanes off the coast which was causing the HUGE surf that we enjoyed.
After we spent the day in the sun, we got all "dolled" up and headed for a really nice dinner.
Sunday nights in Puerto Vallarta are quite entertaining. After dinner we walked on the Malecon, people watching and enjoyed the locals dancing on the plaza. I loved watching Jami & Liza's expresions as we walked up and down the boardwalk. Jami especially found the "stone guy" quite interesting.
We spent Monday morning getting their things packed as we quickly headed over to the office so Jami & Liza could see Kristin & Sophia.
Then it was off to the airport for Jami. Liza and I headed down to the beach for one last taste of nachos and off to the airport it was for her. It was so sad to see them go. I enjoyed myself so much and realized how much fun it was so have them to visit and be a "tour guide". As Liza & I were sitting on the beach we watched this fishing boat come in and it was a bittersweet moment.
Thank you girls for coming and visiting. I hope we can do it soon and maybe this time with the hubby's!!!
As I was thinking a bit more about this blog and sitting in this HEAT I look out the window and saw an amazing sunset. I've always loved sunsets whether they are US located or Internationally located..but I have to admit the are absolutely beautiful here.
I don't think you all realize how hard it rains here when it does rain. When the tropical storms were here off the coast a couple of weeks ago it rained so hard that a few days later we still had a river running in the street. Here's proof! :)
The Dazzling Details has been busy these last few weekends and working our tails off. Check out our blog for the latest news and pictures. We've created some amazing events so far!!! We have two more for October and then October is closed!! Until next time....Stay tuned....
