So wednesday was our first stop in Puerto Villarata. When we get off the ship, we got to take our picture with a real parrot. It was pretty cool, so we bought the picture of me and the parrot. We were hanging out with our friends Bryan & Nora, but we weren't sure what to do. A guy comes up to us and says for $25 a tour bus (van) will take us on a tour of the city, up to the jungle, to a place to eat, a tour of a tequilla factory and shopping. We thought that was a good idea and decided to do it. I was glad we did. I thought it was really fun and interesting.
Here we are at a picture stop on our tour.
The beautiful ocean!
At the place we stopped to eat at. The drink was so yummy and so was the guacomole and salsa and chips! I decided that when I go to Mexico next time I need to bring like 100 $1 dollar bills so I can tip all the people who try and help you for tips. There was this old lady in the bathroom there who would hand you a paper towel or get the soap for you etc. The first time I went in the bathroom I didn't tip her, but the second time I couldn't help it. She was so grateful for the $1 bill I gave her she did the cathlioc cross sign, and said "gracias" I almost started crying. Sometimes I feel like I don't have enough " things" but then when you go to another country you realize that you do have plenty of " things". Any way...
Yes that is a picture of a local guy cliff diving below the place we were eating at. I mean really, it was crazy! He ran like 20 feet on a rock and then would jump. The last time he put a blindfold on his eyes and jumped, now that was crazy! Tyler thought this guy was so cool!
Here I am standing by the plants that make the tequilla. It was pretty cool learning about the whole process.
And here is Tyler getting drunk...ha ha just kidding!
Ty and I at the tequilla factory. I had to pee so bad here, but I couldn't do it. The toilet seats had no lids, and I had to squat over them, but nothing would come out! ha ha!
After our tour and shopping. I didn't really buy anything, 2 braclets for $1. Ty and I just basically walked around, the van took us back to the ship. We went in the ship and got some yummy sandwiches from the sandwich place and then went back out to play in the ocean. This water was SO warm, it wasn't as clear as it should have been, because there was a bad rainstorm the night before so it was muddy looking, but still fun to play in.
Here we are at dinner that night!
Me and the elephant towel. I can't remember what we did this night, I think we played Farkle with Bryan & Nora.

It looks like you had so much fun... apart from the near death experience! I'm glad you finally got some R&R.
