The Ocean In Mexico Is Not As Warm As You Might Think.

 
 Funny thing about shore excursions when you travel by cruise ship. By booking with the excursion company ourselves and not through Disney, we saved a ton of pesos. Example: This snorkeling/kayaking/hike to a waterfall and see the picturesque town of Yalapas tour we took in Puerto Vallarta. Some of the same people from our same Disney ship were on our boat and paid mucho more pesos for the same experience. Let this be a lesson to you. Anyway, here is the boat we went on:
 Technically, it was not a booze cruise, but we saw one nice old man in his 70's put away at least 7 beers (that we counted), then do a pole dance for the entertainment of the upper deck. That's all I'm saying about that. We cruise down the coast for about 45 minutes to a quiet cove where we could swim, snorkel and kayak. The water was 66 degrees. I kayaking with Bruce, but I try to never get in water that is less than 86 degrees, which is where our pool temperature simmers in the summertime. Other brave souls tried snorkeling:
 
The kayaking was great- smooth, calm seas and no 66 degree water!
Coming soon, an informative tour of the primitive town of Yalapas, Mexico, complete with waterfall, iguanas and sellers of all trades.
