Huatulco

This weekend we spent a few days in Huatulco with Ashley for some badly-needed R&R (well actually, I'm not really working that hard, but came along just because I'm nice like that.) Huatulco is a small coastal town in southern Mexico that is not as touristy as most of the beach resorts. We had a great time swimming, relaxing, fishing, hiking, and boating.
Here are some of my favorite moments:

• Ashley and I beating dad-the-bad in a kayak race. (Our combined competitive natures overpowered his physical strength - although as he tells it we just had a better angle.)
  

• Having a Mexican guy flirting with Ashley on the beach tell her "Tu pareces como Ironman." (You look like Ironman) He got very flustered and embarrassed when I mentioned Ironman was not a woman.
  

• Swinging from a rope swing over a waterfall and dropping in the water. (unfortunately, Ashley turned the video camara off when I started and on when I finished. You'll have to be satisfied with the video of her. (think a little -or maybe a lot- smaller, black swimsuit instead of bikini, and a terrified look)

• Going deep sea fishing in a tiny boat with one of the locals and his 10-yr-old son and catching six fish! This is an amazing feat for us given we never catch a thing. I knew you wouldn't believe it, so here's the proof:
  

• 

• While on our fishing adventure encountering dos tortugas felices on top of the water - on top of each other.
• Enjoying all-you-can eat hand-scooped icecream at the hotel restaurant.
  
• Getting flipped off a banana boat three times in one circle around the bay because the little kids we were riding with thought "el divirtido es caer."
  

and now - back to work for all of us!
