It's Hot! And Wasn't it Supposed to Rain?

I thought it would be a good idea to move to Puerto Vallarta towards the end of it's summer season for two reasons:

1. We could experience some of Vallarta at its hottest, but only have to deal with it for roughly a month, so we'd have an idea of what we got ourselves into..

and 2. So that i could have a chance at all the rain, lightning, and thunder storms (the pics of them i've found are amazing!)

..and my husband and i did discuss this of course (i won..), but now i'm thinking it was a HUGE mistake! The first two days were'nt too bad, and i have no idea what the temps been at but im toasting- wait scrath that! Im steaming in my own sweat here! Lol. But every night it does cool down enough for me to enjoy it's splenders.

The rain... what to say about your obscure tantrams and odd beginings...For starters i think it's funny that on a clear day, it starts to rain, with little to no warning whats so ever. But on another where the skies were covered with grey rain clouds not a drop falls (this day was especially horid..). And today it rainned five times! Not sprinnkles either, but a downpour! And don't even get me started on the mosquitos you bring...

(For anyone traveling down here or moving or whatever, i would go to the nearest pharmacy apon your arival and buy a container of mosquito repelant. Seriously, i look like i have the chicken pox!)

We're Here!

Ok so here's a round up of the last two days.

We arrived in Puerto Vallarta at 4:58pm yesterday. The flight went a lot better then expected with my very hyper toddler. Although i would have prefered going into security a little smoother. Maya decided to go back into security after we had just gonne through it, stopping to drop her baby doll and say hi to the officer. Luckily martin was able to coax her, meaning swoopinng her up as fast as he could, im just glad security was helpful of my runaway baby. Arriving was amazing! We sailed right past everything, security and customs was easy, and we got the green light to go through so we didnt lose any more money for our baggage.
We were greeted by Martin's parents, and drove to their home in el pitillal. Which is a downtown Vallarta suburb. We then proceeded to to have a carne asada dinner with family. At first Maya wasnt sure what to think, and by the end of the night she was asking "bye-bye" windering when we were going to leave. But this morning, to my surprise, she's totally fine! Martin's little brother has taken her as though she were his own sister, and she is loving doing almost whatever she wants with her uncle and cousins. I even swore i heard her say "gato".
Today we went to an aunt's house, it was a lot of fun! More people, and more food! They even had a cake, it was a turtle's birthday! Gotta love Mexico! They celebrate for birthdays, holidays, and everything inbetween! And now we're relaxing at home, so i decided to take some pics!

This is our washing machine! lol We have an actual one, but we use this for dishes and certain clothes. You use the left side to clean, and you use the right to rise of the item. The right is filled with clean water as you need it. (Nothing dirty goes in this side!)

This is a picture of the backyard! It is positioned between the two parts of the house.



Well there you have it! So far so good. But don't worry there will be more to come. With more pictures, and more stories of our everyday life in My Little Puerto Vallarta!
