On to Bucerias to a family celebration of our 50 years of marriage with children and grandchildren. We were somewhat anxious upon arrival because we had made all lodging arrangements online (6 months earlier). We hoped the location and comfort would be suitable for all.
Located in the outskirts of Puerto Vallarta, Bucerias is a warm water beach location with time-share, condominium, and hotel haven for mostly Canadians, North Americans, and many Mexicans. The beaches are lovely, the town area is filled with boutiques and art, the pace is leisurely, and the weather in December, January, February is marvelous.

Our time in Bucerias was spent enjoying family and beach activities at our incredible house right on the beach, Casa Coco. It was incredible - a beautiful Mexican art filled home with 7 beautiful bedrooms and bathrooms to match, a lovely pool setting, and a a convenient kitchen. Included were all the beach toys anyone needs: a kayak, surf boards, beach balls.....

The 5 children, ranging in age from 5 to 12 years were ecstatic with the warm water of the ocean and the pool. We filled our days with swimming activities, kayaking, beach architecture, Old Maid, Loteria (Mexican Bingo), talent shows, and lots of drama.

A major highlight was sailboating in the Bay of Banderas to the nearby Marieta Islands. En route we watched humpback whales breaching and playing around our boat. Arriving at the Marietas, we put on snorkeling equipment and swam among many schools of fish, coral, colorful eels. Then we proceeded to swim through a dark cave which opened onto a sandy beach area. If that wasn't a great adventure...for all of us. It was a fabulous day ending with a hearty lunch aboard the sailboat.

Meals were fabulous with Mexican creations by cooks, Lupita and Nacho. The ribs, sopes, and guacamole were memorable! Nights were filled with games, storytelling, talent shows, and Olympic watching,. The week passed like a beautiful sunset. We will always remember the sun and fun in Bucerias.
