Here's some pics from the second half of the trip. You may notice a lot of pool pictures, that is representative. There are a few videos on youtube as well.

At the house in Sayulita

In a store in Sayulita, that inexplicably had a floor of sand. On purpose.

Pouring with the cups, probably her most favorite activity in all the world. Well, maybe after eating ice cream.

beach bum

The aforementioned most favorite activity, which was enjoyed every morning at the beach, and always, an ice cream sandwich was chosen from the freezer.

again at the house in sayulita. You can see the waterfall in the background, and the noodles in the armpits.

This is at the aguas termales (hot springs pools) in San Juan Cosala, near Ajijic. There were several different pools of different temperatures, a vapor cave, and a very sweet set of kiddie pools, connected by a river channel. We spent a long time here, wearing lots of sunscreen.

After 24 hours back in the country, time to make a blog post. We just returnd from a 2 week trip to Mexico, visiting Puerto Vallarta, Guadalajara, Ajijic, and Sayulita, and having a grand time. Lots and lots of pictures taken, many of which will be posted. Videos will be on Youtube in the next few days. Eleri is really an aquaphile, and enjoyed lots of swimming on the trip. She also very much enjoys the giant sandbox called the beach. The mexicans were very doting on the little guera, and I'm sure we got star treatment because of her. More photos to come.....

Eleri's still fighting off the puky bug, which has now added the diarrhea bug as well, poor thing. We went to the zoo with Zach today, and she stayed in her stroller the whole time, which she has never before done. She produced a huge waterfall of puke and two explosive liquid diarrheas before we packed up and left. Finally toward the end of the day she perked up a little bit, and Zach even got her to laugh. I had been thinking she was on the upswing, but today she had a bit of a backslide. Hopefully tomorrow she's on the road to recovery. How she's managing to stay hydrated is beyond me, but she is. She's been taking it like a trooper, and has been very snuggly, which is a nice and sweet byproduct. That said, I'd rather see her tearing around than feeling so crummy :-(
