I think this is a willet, a type of sandpiper? Early morning at the beach, Puerto Vallarta.

Leaving today. It’s been lovely. Puerto Vallarta

Mexican restaurant at hotel notably better than giant international buffet, unsurprisingly.

Review of all-inclusive Iberostar Puerto Vallarta so far — facilities are nice, everything feels clean and reasonably well-maintained. Staffing is a little light at check-in (took a long time to check in) and tech crashes a lot, it seems like. Everyone has tried to be very helpful, and they don’t sell you too hard on

Great-tailed grackle, I think. Puerto Vallarta

Brown booby.

My nieces. Very windy on the speedboat, much fun for them and Kavi (Anand was not a fan of the turbulence), but they (and Kavi) should’ve probably braided their hair. Lots of tangles to brush out now!

Blue Heron, I think. Marietas Islands.

Whale watching and snorkeling. Only saw the tail of one whale, but lots of pretty tropical fish. And pelicans, obviously.
