Day Three - Ziplining and Dolphins

Aquaventuras Park in Nuevo Vallarta
 
The dolphins are named Scarlett (female) and Angel (male.)
 







One holds onto their fins and they swim upside down while you ride along.




The push your feet while you ride on a boogie board.

 




 
Imagine that the Zipline begins where you see the red circle . .  and goes for three separate lines at consecutive towers.  We don't have any photos of the action, but have GREAT memories!

Day Two - Marietas Islands

Two hours . . . by party boat . . . no drinking on the ride there.
 
The approach . . .

It's very well hidden.  We swam about 200 meters to get there, through a tunnel.  It will likely become a UNESCO World Heritage Site within the next two years, so only researchers will be able to visit.  IF I get the photos from my camera rescued, I will post them.  It didn't survive the underwater trip in a Ziplock bag.
 
Fishes over the side of the boat, feasting on barnacles. 
 
Pretty sure that's a VERY enlarged Nemo . . .
 
Returning to port, the biggest Mexican flag I've ever seen.
 

 
 

 
 
 

Day One - On the Beach!

Still VERY white . . .
