Velas Vallarta !

Checked in early and our room was ready .... We checked in and within half an hour we dropped our bags and hopped onto a city bus to go grab groceries. That was an experience!  I wish I knew Spanish better! Even when I can figure out how to word the question, the answer is almost never understood!! (Unless actions and pointing are part of the answer! Then the odds go up!!). They speak so fast!!!! So friendly! But too fast!!  

We are surrounded by many Canadians though we are finding!  So we just look around for a white face and they are either from Vancouver or Calgary. (Had a random couple today on the bus from Ontario!)

Took a taxi home.... The bellman helped us upstairs with our groceries and we felt terribly rich!!  Because guess what??? We asked what the all inclusive option would be if we opted in enstead of using our kitchen. And get this:
$100 per adult and $75 per kid so we would be at $350 US PER day!! Which would work out to $2300 for the week!!  Isn't that crazy!!? (So we paid $500 cdn for the week to stay here and that would barely cover what it would be to eat here for one day!!) Yes, it's a beautiful 5 star ... I wish we could opt in! But these kids are happy on toast and smoothies!  So we opted in for the timeshare talk tommorow and they will give us breakfast and $200 .... Our heads are still rolling at that kind of dough!!

Tonight as it got dark; 
It's beautiful here but definatly not authentic like the last place. But chris is happy and relaxed now that he has a kitchen and can eat.  He says he's been starving these last four days! Lol.
