Incline Village, Lake Tahoe

Our summer travels ended with an impromptu visit to Incline Village, where our friends have a home. Our first day up there, we went to the beach. The water was quite frigid, but it was a spectacular day.

Local Fauna of Mexico

As we sat down for lunch, a butterfly flew into the ceiling fan above us. Its wing was nicked so it settled on Bill's hand. Sophia was intrigued by the beautiful critter. The butterfly survived the fan and Sophia.

Welcome to Conchas Chinas, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Our home away from home was nestled in the steep hillside of the jungle while staring out to the breathtaking view of Bahia de Banderas. It about 10 minutes south of the center of Puerto Vallarta, along the coast of Bahia de Banderas on the Pacific Ocean.

While we were there, a tropical storm hovered the area, stifling the days with heat and humidity hot and humidity and the nights with a spectacle of lights and thunder.

For Sophia, each day was greeted with a bottle and a dip in the infinity pool and each day ended with dip and a bottle. Isn't life grand!
